My Uphill Battle

I LOVE FOOD!

I LOVE TO COOK!

I LOVE TO READ COOKBOOKS!

AND I LOVE TO EAT!

And my love for food has certainly gotten me into trouble with my weight, but now I am trying to change that. I have been on Weight Watchers for 9 weeks now and have dropped 5% of my body weight. I still have a long road ahead of me, but I am excited and encouraged.

This is going to be an entirely new journey for me, I have been struggling with my weight for over 10 years now, and I want to defeat this once and for all. It is made even more difficult because I have never been a healthy weight as an adult, so I don't really have an image of what I will look like. This is going to be hard, but I figured if I make it a little fun and challenging... then I will be even more successful!

That is where this blog comes in... I am a cook and I love to share my food. I feel that so many times people think that good tasting food has to be bad for you. I want to prove that wrong! I am going to share with you some of my recipes so that we can all inspire each other to have fun with our food and still stay healthy! (Not to mention writing down my recipes for others makes me keep it healthy and forces me to track everything!)

I am excited to share this journey with you... The view from the top is worth the climb!

I need help in the healthy eating category too! I love the recipe you posted earlier - roasted corn salsa?! Yum! I will enjoy reading about and trying your creations. Another challenge for you...it seems like gourmet or tasty recipes are SO expensive! It should be interesting to see if I can afford your creations!

Well Heather, that is another thing that I want people to know. Healthy eating isn't expensive! We feed a family of 3 (Plus one special meal a week with family so 5 people there) for $100 a week - Including things like toilet paper, trash bags, detergent, etc!
