This year I made a decision to stop buying ‘women’s’ magazines and I feel so much happier for doing it. Here’s why… Im not a massive magazine buyer, I don’t buy them regularly but now and then I will pick up a few and every time I did, I ended up either feeling rubbish about […]
Last week I had some time away in Spain, the stress of dealing with my stoma, the hernia and the upcoming surgery was just getting too much. I am a positive person but it was all getting me down, I was really weepy and just felt so down and sad. After hearing that my surgery […]
Today I spoke to the consultants secretary again, she says that he needs to see me regarding the test results from the anorectal physiology test and my surgery now won’t be till May. There are two dates, one the 14th and one the 28th May. Either way it sucks big time that it will be […]

Man, I’m grumpy. Like ‘lay on your face, hate the world’ grumpy. This morning was good, I went for a dog walk with my friend Caroline and then had a morning doing a bit of work and helping her with craft stuff with another friend Rob. We chatted and everything was good. But this afternoon […]
I was asked to write a little bit about my IBD story for Me and IBD, the youth site for Crohns and Colitis UK and was thrilled to do so. You can take a peek at the site here. You can read my post below. My name is Sam Cleasby and I run blog So […]
Im doing more and more writing about self esteem and body image and was asked to talk about ways to feel better about yourself. This is part of my Love Yourself – You’re So Bad Ass work. My guilty pleasure TV is Ru Paul’s Drag Race, it’s like America’s Next Top Model but for drag […]
