As soon as I'm cleared to a normal diet, I am definitely going to try my hand at a couple of dozen of these recipies. I had no idea how strong of a relationship with food I had until after surgery. To be quite honest, I spend most of my time stalking food blogs, figuring out what I can and can not eat... Dreaming about the ones I can't. When rolling into 2013, I set goal of becoming healthier in mind, body, and spirit, and I've done quite well.

Mind-wise: I graduated esthetics school in January and will go to university this fall

Body-wise: I joined a gym and have been going religiously, and of course had weight loss surgery

Spirit-wise: I have made a set time to study God's word and spend time with him. It has definitely changed my life more than anything. Things just seem off when I don't give God his deserved time!

My newest goal for 2013 is to actually become a "cook.":) Which actually falls into the body aspect. No use of being sad about what I can't eat. I must learn to embrace this new lifestyle! I'm going to get in the kitchen and recreate all those past comfort foods!
