I don’t know about you, but I LOVE cheese. I mean seriously, I LOVE IT. Since I’ve cut out all the processed crap I realized I missed Cheeze-Its – so I decided to make my own. Cheese Straws and Cheeze-Its are the same damn thing, just cut differently. This is the easiest thing to do … Continue reading

The Double Chin
I can remember when the first thing I would do in my pictures is notice my double chin. And I can remember thinking that was the one thing I’d like to change. (I was fine with the big hips. I was fine with the tummy. But dammit – that chin was just over the top. … Continue reading
Body Acceptance
I was thumbing through the Internets looking for inspiration and found myself getting quite annoyed. (Tumblr can be a dark lonely bad place.) I stumbled across “reasons to lose weight” and realized mine were nothing like a lot of peoples. I kept seeing things like, “to sit on a guys lap”, “to not dread showing … Continue reading

Silence of the Hams
Every year my brother has a big pig roast on Labor Day where all proceeds go to My House. My House is a non-profit organization that provides transitional housing and a home-like living environment for babies who are ready to leave the hospital but are homeless and have nowhere to go. The technical description of what … Continue reading
Moderation…or lack thereof.
Moderation. I’m not a fan. I should be, but I’m not. One ounce of cheese? Why not 12? One triathlon? Why not 5? ALL. OR. NOTHING. I’ve been thinking a lot about this since a conversation I had last Thursday. Formulating my thoughts and figuring out how to word this post. I am a very … Continue reading
