The O-Word Is the Second Preventable Cause of Cancer After Smoking. Is It True? Is It Helpful?
Cancer Research UK is in the news again with another of their stigmatising campaigns. Last year they launched a national campaign on the connection between ‘obesity’ and cancer. Billboards all over the country featured a game of hangman. Remember this? This year, the campaign is drawing...
Read moreComment on The Telegraph’s ‘Overweight and proud, but is the game finally up for ‘fat-fluencers’?’
Three prominent fat activists were recently interviewed by a reporter from The Telegraph newspaper, a conservative-leaning daily broadsheet here in the UK (conservative with a small c though some would say with a capital C). Let me introduce you to these three inspiring women: Amy Pence-Brown is the...

In Harry Potter, there was a taboo on saying the name of the evilest character, Voldemort. The story goes that there was a spell on the name and that anyone who uttered it could be tracked down by Voldemort and his allies. Hence he was referred to as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named or You-Know-Who. I'm doing...

Which means it has nothing to do with the number on the scale. Or...

Hi, I'm Vania.
I'm passionate about helping you break free from the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting, body shame, overeating, bingeing, and emotional eating.
For decades, I was at war with my body and food. It wasn't until I found an approach which didn't involve strict rules, diets and a focus on weight, that my relationship with food and my body transformed into one of ease and peace.
