Dear Melanie Ann....

.....here are a few tips for you next time you are feeling down/shit:

-Starting the day with exercise makes you feel amazing. It helps with your weight loss, gives you energy and makes you a wayyyy nicer person to be around.

-Starting the day with lots of water and a piece of fruit also makes for all round nicer feeling melly. The massive amounts of caffeine you imbibe throughout the workday? Not so much. It makes you dehydrated, cranky, and super tired the next day because you haven't been able to sleep properly due to the consumption of fifty-million coffee's you drank because you were tired. Get where I am going with this one? Yup.

Sorry to be all captain obvious at you there, but you don't seem to be getting it do you? Not really sinking in is it?!

-You've more than enough "stuff" you don't need that book or dress or perfume. You want it. Big difference there. Paying the bills would be way more advisable.

Annnnd, just while I'm picking on you here - leaving the chores until later means the stuff that needs doing takes up space in your mind whilst you put it off. Five minutes now to fold washing/clear away dishes/sweep is better than two days spent avoiding it. Just sayin'

Hope you aren't super offended by my pointers here, its just that you already know all of this and continue to live life the hard way. You are seriously choosing to feel badly about yourself and to make life difficult.

It's getting old.

Again, just sayin'

(because everybody knows that adding just sayin' on the end of criticism makes it all okay)

Yours, Melanie Ann xo
