Bullet Points | So, this is what a relapse feels like...
โ๐ผ Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843So, this is what a relapse feels like? | The Emma Guns Show๐ I've spoken at length about my body image, weight loss and recovery from binge eating disorder, so I suppose it's only right that I share what it felt like to relapse. Recovery isn't linear, but this 'blip' was one that I couldn't fend off with my usual tactics but I did manage to navigate it differently from when I was in the gripes of binge eating disorder.I hope sharing this makes someone else feel a little bit better or, at least, a little less alone.๐ฐ I also wang on about hydration sachets in this episode including:Ancient & BraveHumantraWillpowders๐ In this video I'm wearing:Vieve Varsity Sweatshirt, ยฃ45.*contains affiliate links.๐ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:๐ฑ https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Hey!

Perhaps a little organised chaos is fine?๐ฐ Let's also talk about the state of the world, but not for too long and how people seem to be getting less and less tolerant of each other.๐งด This really is a beautiful moisturiser.

Bullet Points | This could backfire terribly...
โ๐ผ Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843This could backfire terribly... | The Emma Guns Show๐ I had such a wonderful response to the most recent episodes about how to get on top of your health and fitness goals, but at the same time, I've noticed tonnes of content online that gives the impression that making lifestyle changes is really quite easy and just involves stopping doing one thing and starting doing another. And, in many cases, it involves doing all these things at one. I thought I'd poke fun at this a bit (let's see if it backfires) and hopefully engage some new listeners/viewers who might benefit from hearing a different, less idealistic but hopefully more helpful approach.๐ฐ The Instagram I posted is here: ๐ In this video I'm wearing:Adanola Rib Racer Vest Top, ยฃ24.99.๐ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:๐ฑ https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/The Instagram I posted is here: Hey!

It has not been an easy ride...Try Notion for yourself here: https://www.notion.com/๐ With the news that Meghan Markle is making a return to Instagram via her new account @meghan (https://www.instagram.com/meghan/) there will undoubtedly be an onslaught of negativity from those people who have already decided they don't like her. But, as I was discussing with family recently, it's always important to find something nice to say about someone...The social media expert I mentioned was @phoebeparke (https://www.instagram.com/phoebeparke/) and here's the link to the post where she deconstructed why Meghan's social media return was so smart: Meghan's Social Media Return Deconstructed.๐๐ผ Gavin and Stacey aired its finale on Christmas Day in the UK and here's another reason why this 17-year-long series has been so special.๐ In this video I'm wearing:Marks & Spencer Supersoft Crew Neck Jumper, ยฃ17.50 in Light Natural.๐งน The Ultenic Robot Vacuum, ยฃ179.*contains affiliate links.๐ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:๐ฑ https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Hey!
