Transformation

Here We Go….

But before I get into the grit. Let me give you a little background…

I must truly begin because my life depends on it. Life being myself, children, the world! I’ve started this blog to hold myself to the level of intent and accountability that is necessary to continue the path of being in the best health and best shape of my life. Especially since I’ve been fat all my life (let others say it). However in my “first 5” years I was fed homegrown fruits and vegetables. Fresh caught fish. Food from farmer’s market. But something happened at the tender age of 6 and I began to use food as a crutch as I was able to explore more options. Between disaster and trauma in my little world, all things I learned is not truly “food” became a bestie, confidant, lover (in adulthood) and the thing that got me through the stress of life.

I’m not going to say how bad it got… but think hangover (not alcohol induced, tho). Seeing this now I realize I underwent just as much trauma in eating what/how/when I did. But now that I’ve done so much work to get to the root of such behavior, I can say I’m ready to take care of the inner child inside and rebirth and grow myself up again with a new light and understanding of how to live and love myself.

So much to be thankful for… no diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, lost limbs, etc. So far arthritis and a bad back… Something I can live with if I take care of my body, strengthen it and feed it “life.” This is what this Natural Health and Weight Loss is all about. Giving life to myself through natural-living-food, meditation and activity that guarantees that I can do and be all I can. For real, I’m not going to lie and say I won’t indulge in my faves sometimes- at some point (cinnamon rolls, cheesecake, lasagna (veggie I promise). But I’m making a commitment to use my knowledge, skill and wit to take live foods that are better and taste good and create masterpieces with them like I didn’t miss a thang!

The picture below is a year or so old and I’m about the same. I haven’t taken any photos because I rather see myself the way I feel. And it’s time to change that NOW… cuz I feel good! I’m loving myself and it’s time to transform.

Check back this weekend for the goods of what and how I’m heading into a healthier lifestyle and happier self!

Love you Heart, Mind and Spirit,
