Okay. I'm about to get courageous here. I'm going to step on a scale and let the hundreds of thousands who visit this site monthly see it.And since the net can be cruel, I'm ready to be called every body-shaming name in the book. So last year, I lost 40 pounds by eating more healthily and excercising rather frequently. This did NOT mean sacrificing foods I love nor becoming Rocky Balboa. It meant eating more indulgent foods more in moderation with portion control while mostly making wiser food choices and not eating super late at night before bed. Because that's a HUGE player in weight less. If you eat a big meal and go to bed on a full stomach, it's a one-way ticket to feeling like there's a brick in your stomach the next morning and, very quickly, going up a few sizes.But this year, I gained it back. I got lazy. I ordered take-out. My job stressed me out. I would go without eating most of the day and then ate huge meals at 11PM. Not to mention, I just came back from 2 weeks eating my way through Italy & Greece. I felt bloated, uncomfortable and didn't fit into most of my clothes. Oh, and I avoided the scale like it was going to the dentist to have a root canal. I knew I had gained weight, but I certainly didn't want to see a NUMBER on a scale telling me that, no sir! that makes it REAL.But sometimes you need a dose of reality to put you into check. It was time to do something. And I am taking that journey now. Each week, I will release a video with my progress as well as a blog entry detailing what I ate and did each day to help combat the fat available at https://www.pressureluckcooking.comCome follow this video series by subscribing to my YouTube Channel.VISIT http://pressureluckcooking.com for MORE written recipes and easy-to-follow videos - with more always being added!Want even more content?
