Lara’s Story

As Robynn said, we all have a different story which is compiled of dreams, hopes and fears. Each of us is unique, making every individual like no other…which brings you to my story… I don’t remember how much I weighed back in late elementary school, but the way my body felt and looked is stillContinue reading “Lara’s Story”

This is My Story . . .

We all have a story that defines who we are. In this story are woven the threads of our dreams, hopes, fears, disappointments, circumstances, and our past – uniquely making us a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Part of my story includes my struggle with food beginning in high school.  I vividly remember weighing in at 98 lbs.Continue reading “This is My Story . . .”

Aha! Peace with Food!!

It was just your ordinary sultry summer night in Kansas, or so we thought. . .

Lazy Girls Workout

After New Years I cracked down and put a lot of time into meal planning and started working toward my weight watchers goal weight.  As I’ve said before (to see my weight loss post click here) it isn’t like I had a lot of weight to lose, but the 10 to 15 pounds that creep up onContinue reading “Lazy Girls Workout”

There’s Room for More

Stepping outside of my comfort zone has NeVeR come easy.  Until I was in my 20’s the list of foods I would eat was limited to say the least and to this day I shock people when I tell them I only lasted 2 nights away at college.  In 3 days my parents moved meContinue reading “There’s Room for More”
