Hi. It's been a while. It's actually been 971 days, or, 2 years 7 months and 27 days, since my last time posting on this blog. Whoops....
I miss it. I miss you, the reader. I miss creating new recipes and having a passion for cooking.
A lot has happened in the last, almost, three years! When I last saw you, I had recently moved to Columbia, SC. Well, now I live in Hilton Head Island! (or is it on HHI?) I have also changed a lot as a person... I went from being just over 300 to almost hitting 400 pounds! Yeah, I know!
Here is a typical picture of me >
I am seen in a bar, with my amazing roommate, with a drink in my hand and the ever growing waist line. This was Christmas 2015, aka me at my largest!
But! As I turn over new leaves in career, friendships, and local of where I'm living; I am now turning over a new leaf in my diet... literally! Out with the fried and in with the green! Now, I am sure you have seen blog after blog of people that "eat clean" and are perfect and look perfect and poop perfect and probably never even think about farting .... I'm NOT that person!
I LOVE MEAT!!! Pork, beef, chicken, gator.... you name it, I love it! My body however, does not. So I am back. I'm here to show you just how easy eating healthy can be! As well as just how hard it can be.
I am not perfect. I do not see butter and salt as a sin. Sometimes I add fat to a dish because it just tastes good! I have lost over 40 pounds in the last three months however and plan to lose a lot more!
<---- This is me now! Much better but still some more work to do!
The victory I am celebrating today is that I went out in public without my "bra" today. For years I have been wearing tank-tops under all my shirts to attempt to hold back my "moobs". Today I felt like it wasn't needed! This isn't saying I'll never wear them again, but I'm getting to a point where I don't feel like I have to!
So welcome, again, to my journey. I plan to clean up my eating while I clean up my life! This is a hard step for me to take and I can't take it alone. You may have not signed up for this ride but now you have to take it! It's really a fun ride! All you have to do is support me and compliment me on how well I'm doing! (I'm a millennial so I need constant reassurance of how well I'm doing, duh!)
