MY FIRST EVER BLOG ...


LOTS OF NAMES …

A few weeks ago I decided I would start writing a blog to share my self love journey. I wanted to reach out to help others break free from dieting and being obsessed with trying to lose weight. I thought it’d be so easy and I’d be up and running in no time so I immediately started thinking of name ideas for said blog. Little did I know this would end up being my biggest problem and in the end, the inspiration for my first ever blog.

I had no idea how difficult it was to come up with a name. Firstly, because I’m not the only person who’s ever thought to do a blog or a website, so there’s actually a lot of names already taken. Probably the worst one was when I’d decided on the name The Greedy Goddess and thought I’d best just Google it to check. Thank heavens I did because I was greeted with an array of porn sites. Then there was the one that ended up being a book about sex. Who knew the word goddess had so many sexual connotations?

Secondly because of the opinion of other people, which as you’ll soon learn, I don’t usually give a crap about, but in this case they made a good point. Have you ever asked a man what they think self love is? To a woman self love is the journey of falling in love with your body and looking after yourself through self care. But when men think of self love all they think about it masturbation, obviously. It’s also one of the definitions for it on Urban Dictionary.

So that ruined using self love anywhere in the title for me too. Even though men aren’t as likely to search for self love as women. Probably the only way they would stumble upon my page is if I had of called it The Greedy Goddess and they clicked on my website by accident – but they’d of been very disappointed judging by what else is available on the internet under the same name.

After a few weeks of trying to come up with names and playing what felt like a very weird and hilarious game of catchphrase with a friend (instead of say what you see it was more say what you think and just shouting out every word possible that went with Goddess or self love or Laura) I finally came up with a name.

So here is my blog – Lots of Laura. I figured it would cover everything I wanted to talk about as it’s all about me! Like I said earlier, it will mainly be about my self love journey and hopefully helping other people realise that there is more to life than loosing weight. But it also allows me to talk about other stuff I love too, like food and Disney, which really all links back to self love and learning to love food and doing things that light you up! I really hope you enjoy it and it can help you in some way.

LOTS OF LOVE, LAURA X
