I have been OBSESSED with tik tok since lockdown happened. I think it's saved me in a weird way. I've been learning dances, new food hacks, how to paint your wall geometricly, legit so much has come to me from tik tok. I'm super grateful because it means i've been slightly less bored since being put on furlough and not working.
Now sometimes I put a lot of hard work and effort into my videos. I get excited when I hit 20 likes and a hundred views. But this time everything changed and heres the story of how...
I've been losing weight during lockdown, very proud of myself, my head is proper in the game, so I went to a shop called The Range and bought this super cute weight loss board where you put a one pound coin into it for every pound of weight you lose! Nice idea and you get to treat yourself to something when you fill up the board; my plan is a new pair of jeans. Its a total of £40.

So I made a tik tok; just putting in the pounds I've lost so far, 12! So almost a stone! It took one take, no fancy editing and suddenly I get a load of views and a lot of likes and it's just kept going all day! A lot of the comments have shown me how many people relate and are on this journey too. The key to weight loss in my opinion is patience.I've always tried fad diets and had unhealthy habits and well the clue is in the name- UNHEALTHY so i've changed this and i'm feeling great.
I'm thinking of doing a little youtube video or series on what I eat in a day, what exercise I do and just my lil lifestyle while in lockdown- believe me when my life goes back to normal I feel i'll struggle a lot more! More to come on this subject though, but for now, here is the old Tik Tok!
