Let me start by saying from the get go that I'm here to share my journey and my journey only.
This is not a place to endorse or condone any one way of living or eating but a place for me to share my experiences in my quest to change my diet and improve my health.
It's a place to share the recipes that are a hit with me and more imrpotantly pass the 'little people' test.
So here's a little bit about me. If it sounds a little bit like you, come along for the ride and lets see where it leads us!
My name is Kirsty, I'm a wife and mum of two (affectionaly known as 'the little people'). I work four days a week and play mum for the rest, so I'm busy, like crazy busy.
I'm not a pre weighed, planned out super organised kinda mum. I suck at that. It goes against every fibre in my being to be planned and organised (and thanks to work I now have the MBT profile to back that up!) But here's the kicker....I have sarcoidosis and for the last 11 years I've taken prednisolone to keep my body heathly.
It's taken a long time but I'm finally off it and I'd like it to stay that way.
It's taken me a while, but I've finally given in to the realisation that what I eat greatly effects how I feel.
So instead of a 'yoyo diet' i know I won't sustain I'm trying to make positive changes for good. I'm throwing out the calorie counter, trying to forget about the scales and giving the eating healthy wholefoods and reducing sugar a good old college try.
Oh and did i mention I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth? I'm under no illusion that this is going to be easy. But you know what? In the long run, I don't really have a choice. So lets see how this goes. I'm far from perfect and I detest the word elimination, but I'm learning to love the words replace and reduce!
