Life is one big self-esteem obstacle course.

Today I had the misfortune of visiting Thai Square Spa, in London’s Shelton Street. It was meant to be a treat to myself – a way for me to unwind, de-stress and move forward after the death of my beloved grandfather last month.The past few weeks have been difficult – incessant family bickering, funeral planning, Facebook deletions and some completely inappropriate behaviour from the family’s resident psycho aunt. So of course, I have been comfort eating. Takeaways, chocolate puddings, sandwiches. Carbs, carbs, carbs. They dull the pain.
