My past failings at losing and maintaining weight loss has been because of my eating habits. I live and celebrate life with food. Good day? Bad day? Awesome day? Challenging day? New York Style Cheesecake fits all occasions. I also became dormant in exercising. I remember losing 80 pounds for my wedding day. I wanted to fit in my designer gown so very badly. I exercised, ate right and stayed focused. Soon as I said "I do", married life took over. I cook for five people and I taste test all that I cook. I'm a damn good cook. No, I'm dynamic in the kitchen. Problem is, I stopped exercising. So as I tasted all my creations, I wasn't burning one calorie.
This time around, I'm losing weight for my health. This is my lifetime journey, not a quick fix. I now prepare wonderful, tasty healthy meals for my family and they are benefiting from improved health. My hub is diabetic, so I cook wonderful, healthy creations to save his life. This time, I'm playing for keeps.
