About Me

I was born the oldest of six children to a young stay-at-home mom and an equally young military dad. I spent my childhood moving from province to province, in Canada, experiencing and loving many of the local dishes. My family didn't have much money and my mom struggled to make good and tasty food on a budget, awakening my love for food and cooking food.

I just celebrated the one and half year anniversary of reaching my goal at Weight Watchers. I weighed 240 pounds at my heaviest and lost a little over 30 pounds on my own before I joined (for the 4th time!) Weight Watchers for what I hoped was my last time. There was a little break in my journey as I moved to another city and thought I could handle it on my own. Nope... I gained back 25 pounds before I realized I needed the accountability and support of the WW community to be successful. I am now a 'freeloading lifer' and have remained active in the program. I don't ever want to go back to where I was.
