Recipes & Shot of the Past

Oh the difference time and knowledge make! Yes that is me now and below, that is me Christmas time at 19, first time I saw this pic was a few weeks ago and I was astonished, holy rolls batman!!! Saw a video of myself that Christmas and realized how big I was, cut out all refined foods and began my journey that led me to my fabulous life or Raw Foods!! I am so happy, energetic, peaceful and pleased with my life and body now, I am confident in the person I am, no longer moody, sad and unhappy. I took control of something I was neglecting for years and I feel so empowered by the choices I make, you could too. I was 208lbs in that picture, not pregnant, just huge. I lost 60lbs through exercise and eliminating refined foods, then during my pregnancy, due to many factors, I gave birth, 22 years old, weighing 232lbs. WHOA Mommy!!! I have lost over 60lbs since then, slowly, but in a healthy way and that is why I share this blog with the world, inspiration is all around us, I hope you find a sprinkle of it in my story...

I can't wait to experience a pregnancy full of healthy foods and happy times instead of stress, refined foods and babysitting a thieving drug addict, one day, it will be fantastic!! p.s. A big thanks to Harvey for loving me unconditionally back in the day!

Tell me can you hear me?

I am riding my positive pony down the street,

through the cob webs of relationships past,

Wondering when I am going to get my chance,

When my toung is going to spill the magic I need to win this game,

When my heart will open and reach out and touch your hand,

When will you be real,

A part of me,

When will I stop chasing and be completely happy,

I love where i am,

But there's another branch ahead,

And although I look at it with caution and reach out in hesitation,

I reach, I am reaching, but the branch seems further out of reach,

And when I grab it; will it break,

Will it hold me like I need?

I want to be held in a blur of passion,

For love so grand I float into the heavens,

For a piece so right i see me in him and him in I,

I want so many things but my tongue and heart deceive me,

I am letting go of fear, of patience and desire,

Letting go and falling in,

allowing these waves to carry me once again,

I don't know who you are but hope one day we can fall into each others arms because I am weary of waiting and sewing my tongue back on
