I have been torn on whether or not to blog about this, but when has that ever stopped me before, right?  Alright… here goes. In the past week, I have seen 5 different couples announce that they are pregnant.  Most of these couples I consider good friends.  And let me start by saying that I…

Happy New Year!! I know it has been way too long since I last posted.  I have been really struggling the last few weeks.  Not really with anything important.  I am GREAT in a crisis.  Unfortunately, some days every day life is a lot to handle. I got sick a week or so before Christmas…

A few months ago, my sister-in-law, Brianne, mentioned to me that I should look into a blog she had been following:  The Big Girl Blog.  CeCe, the lady who writes it, considers herself a Plus Size Princess (PSP), and I love that idea.  The idea that we should love ourselves, regardless of our size, because…

Two years ago today, I felt weird.  Not terrible.  Just off.  It really wasn’t any worse than I had felt so many times before when I ended up in the ER.  So, off we went, in the middle of the night to the ER.  Again.  Surely, they would give me something for anxiety and send…

I love to cook.  I didn’t always, but now I absolutely love it.  Mostly because I love to eat.  I am currently working on a health and fitness challenge for the next 30 days where clean eating is the focus.  But, a friend requested my recipe for my totally famous-to-everyone-who-has-ever-tried-it recipe.  This is the recipe…

Wow!  Such a great response to yesterday’s post.  Of course, as soon as I hit the Publish button I thought of several other weight loss lessons I wanted to share.  So here they are: Sleep is your friend.  I don’t think people really realize just how much sleep contributes to weight loss.  I’m not always…

I have heard several people say that you should never take weight loss advice from a fat person.  I think this is total crap, and I will tell you why. I have struggled with weight ever since puberty attacked me in my teens.  I also L.O.V.E. food.  I love to eat.  It makes me happy. …

It’s that time of year again!  I. Love. Sharks.  I have loved them since I was a little kid.  I don’t really remember the first time I saw a nature special on sharks, but I was completely hooked.  I have been obsessed with Shark Week ever since.  This is my favorite week of the year,…
