The wisdom of a purple sparkly leotard

1 November, 2021

A few months ago a friend of mine was talking to me about her attempts to lose weight and do more exercise. She described how she’d been down this road many times before, sometimes with success, sometimes not, but always finding the process mystifyingly difficult.
