I started going to WW meetings, and following along in the pretty booklets, and started to lose some weight. A couple of pounds here and there, a bit of exercise and somehow, before I knew it, I lost 41 pounds. That was 2 years ago now. The miracle of it, is that I haven't gained ANY OF IT BACK! I made some pretty significant changes in my life. I changed careers, gave up my car, and started cooking in a brand new way. I no longer ate a whole t-bone steak with pork and beans for dinner. I no longer ate lasagna and salad and garlic toast for lunch. I no longer ate 5 potato pancakes, and a cup of sour cream for breakfast. I viewed the new me with a bit of skepticism. My once round face had become oval, I had hair down to my shoulders, and I bought a pair of jeans with a zipper and a waistband.( after YEARS of elastic waists!) I got rid of almost all of my old cookbooks, and started visiting a website called myrecipes.com, that listed the nutritional information for every recipe along with a suggested serving size. The P-man was a willing guinea pig, so I tried new ingredients, and new combinations. I even started cooking lunches for friends of his at his work! A thin Foodie? I was starting to believe...
This blog is about my journey from fat to thin, and my relationship with food along the way.I cook for myself and my husband almost every day. I like to eat healthy and nutritious food simply prepared.
