Many of you have written to me to tell me I've motivated,
inspired, and encouraged you along my journey, thank you. I feel honored
to be able to pass on what I've learned, and to know that people look
to me for ideas and motivation is just amazing. Remember, I'm the gal
who use to weigh a miserable 388 pounds, eat highly caloric, processed
so-called food, and my exercise consisted of going back and forth to the
kitchen. Today, I promote a healthy fit lifestyle and folks look to me
for inspiration. Ha ha. That's awesome.
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with a young woman who came to my blog after reading "The Columbian" article written about me back in July 2011. How totally cool. Anyhow, she was interested in buying a copy of Bringing Cooking Back. I agreed to meet with her at New Seasons Market. I signed her book, we chatted about my weight loss, and I offered her some tips and suggestions. Next thing, I know, my passion for good whole food and sharing my knowledge led us to the produce section. Before I knew it we were traveling the entire store -- I was giving her a Personal Grocery Shopping 101 tour.
As we walked around the store and I introduced some of my recipe ideas. She pointed out that she doesn't like oatmeal, Brussels sprouts, and a few other things I suggested she try. I gave her permission to not like these items. There are plenty of other healthy delicious foods that she may like. Our shopping experience/conversation prompted this blog post...Look to me for your inspiration, motivation, but remember the path you travel is unique. Let me be your guide, but your journey is your journey. You may be able to use some of my recipes, exercise routines, tips, however, some of my methods may not work for you and that's okay. Adapt what you can from me and others, but your journey will be different. Be encouraged by me, but remember your journey is uniquely yours. Good luck! Do continue to look to me, I love it!
