Welcome!


In the beginning...
There were cookies and cakes.
And all things deep fried.
Butter on all.
And severely chapped thighs.
The journey of this morbidly obese child, adolescent, teen, and young adult has been fraught with defeat, with challenge, with tribulations, but also with triumph.
Over the years I have tried it all.
After 3 years of calorie restriction, treadmill and elliptical machine slavery, and every fad diet on the market, I managed to lose 160 lbs. And following my father’s losing battle with cancer, regain 30. 
I spent precious moments obsessing over my appearance. Lamenting over food. Pounding the soles of my shoes on the pavement. And being my own worst enemy.
There comes a time when you open your eyes to the issue of sustainability.
You can only survive so long beating yourself up.
The Solution?
Re-teaching (or rather introducing) my body to REAL nutrition. 
You followed me through weight loss, through disorder, through tragedy, now follow me as I pick up the pieces.
Join me in my mission for a cleaner lifestyle: a healthier mind, body, and soul.
