They’re for my work, i promise. Yes, i have to taste test each batch but what good cook doesn’t!? I’ve been really good. As you can see from my weight tracker below, i’ve lost a good 20 pounds. Plus, an extra 15lbs because i originally started at 330lbs. I’m pretty proud of myself for making it past that excruciating “century” mark. You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard to get to 299lbs, but your mind plays awful tricks. I finally did it though & i’m glad. (:

Not without a pretty twisty rollercoaster of the past few months. It all started when i hooked up with a guy (regrettably, later) & did the “no-no” with no protection. Stupid, i know. But anyway, so i freaked out & took Plan B (the morning after pill) & WAA-LAA! I started having regular periods. See now, since about 15 years old, i stopped menstruating. It took 3 years & a one-night stand to start my engine up again. Now with a miracle comes a disaster, too. I went PMS postal. I felt like i was making up for lost time… all the years i didn’t have Aunt Rose come on over. I’ve been through depression, insomnia, heartache, extreme happiness, anger…..until i just about exploded. I felt like a crazy lunatic! Still do, actually! Well, not as much. I finally got the nerve up to see my doctor after 2 years. He about diagnosed me in 5 minutes. The answer? Thyroid. that is the key word. It explains why i couldn’t lose weight, why i was irregular & why i went through a whirlwind of hormonal emotions!!! Everything makes sense now.

For now, anyway.
