Fabulous Gay Vegan

Hey friends

For the past fifteen years some of you have been following me through ups and downs, through activism, celebrations, and also through my own personal challenges. One of the biggest struggles I have spoken openly about is compulsive eating disorder and the impact it has had on my health. This has never been easy to share, but honesty has always felt like the best way to stop myself carrying shame that doesn’t belong on my shoulders.

Just over a year ago I began using Mounjaro with medical support. In that time I have lost a significant amount of weight. The decision to make this change has been about more than numbers on a scale. My motivation is to protect both my physical and mental health, to do everything I can to avoid long term illnesses such as diabetes, and to reduce the chances of heart problems later in life. It has been a big adjustment, and I have tried to stay as transparent as possible on my blog, social channels, and podcast because I know many of you value that honesty and because it helps me feel less alone.

Now I find myself with a question for you. I am only one kilogram away from moving out of the obese category, according to NHS guidelines, and into the overweight category. I am not saying you will see me strutting down a Parisian catwalk anytime soon, but my appearance is already drastically different from how most of you have known me over the past few years and beyond.

That brings me to the name Fat Gay Vegan.
