Creativity Boosts Weight Loss

Tonight I went to a floristry workshop with a great friend and made a MiniJohn Terrarium!

I have been to about 5 floristry workshops in the last year, and I really love them. I am thinking of going a painting workshop next month.

So much of our social life can evolve around food and drink, finding something creative to do for a date night or a night out with a friend is a great way to do something fun with someone.

If you find a new hobby in the process, even better, as this will give you something new to spend you time on.

Being creative can be very therapeutic, and when you complete your project you get a great sense of achievement and satisfaction. Plus every time I look at my terrarium I will feel happy 🙂

How does being creative boost weight loss and help with weight maintenance?

  • Doing something you enjoy that does not involve food and drink is key!
  • It keeps your mind busy as you get lost in being creative.
  • Being creative is therapeutic which means it calms your mind and makes you feel more present, which helps to prevent emotional eating.
  • Having a sense of achievement makes you feel fulfilled and increases your sense of self esteem and self worth.
  • Being able to enjoy the end result of your creativity project will make you feel happy and proud, which will also help prevent emotional eating.

Why not search google for creativity workshops and see what is available in your local area?

Love,

Indian Matchmaking – Netflix’s Divisive Show and Indian Culture’s Harsh Realities | Desi~licious RD

Discussing South Asia’s problematic rishta culture through Sima Taparia from Mumbai. If there is one thing about quarantine that all of us have in common, it’s binge-watching television. Never has there been a better time to plop in front of the TV with a plate full of biryani! And when Sima Taparia from Mumbai in Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking graced our technological screens, the show – depicting Indian culture – its rishta game, hit a little too close to home. The show follows a straightforward concept. Potential brides and grooms-to-be alongside overbearing parents meet Sima Aunty for an ice-breaker discussion. Preferences are conveyed, prospective suitors are perfected on paper, meeting schedules are arranged, and then it’s up to the couple to decide their chemistry and compatibility levels.  In some ways, the producers have tried to direct the narrative away from the typical “big fat Indian wedding” and offered the reins of decision making into the 30 somethings hands.

He was crowned runner-up in the End 2020 Strong Challenge and won £250 in cash and £125 New You credit.  Here’s what he had to say about his amazing success so far… How do you think the plan has changed your life? Has your health improved? Massively. It was a struggle to get out of bed and get up the stairs and walking. I didn’t do anything. I was literally just eating and not moving. My mum has got a heart condition so that was a little bit of a wakeup call as well. My nan also had a heart condition and I thought ‘you’re heading in the same sort of way here. You’re just getting bigger, bigger and bigger.’ I no longer get chest pain and my health seems to have improved massively. I was probably also on th
