Hi, my name is Tera and for the last 7 years I have been fighting a thyroid condition that has irritatingly made it almost impossible to lose weight and horribly easy to gain it. You know that saying, "If I just look at a candy bar I lose weight!" Well, that's me. At the end of my ropes I confessed to my husband that I was thinking about getting the bypass surgery which ultimately led to a tiff and me crying myself to sleep.
So in the end I agreed to at least give it one month of actually trying to truly diet which has forced him to eat everything I make and not bitch if I buy all healthy food. I have soon realized the biggest culprit to me not losing the weight was my buying all the crappy foods he wanted and sacrificing my own needs because well, we are on a budget! I couldn't afford to buy two shopping lists!
I am happy to report I finally got to buy all healthy foods and so I went on a quest for gourmet recipes and ingredients that can make a meal for 100 to 200 calories and within the first week I lost 3 lbs. I know to many this is no big deal but for me it was like leaping across a huge lake and actually getting somewhere! Oh and it didn't taste like diet food crap! It was DELISH!
So I decided to start this blog to share amazing recipes, weight loss triumphs and hope for other men and women out there who have almost given up on this crappy diet world. If you hate dieting as much as I do, I hope you find some comfort in knowing you can eat like a gourmet God or Goddess, enjoy every last bite and still lose weight. Ohh and it is actually super easy to cook. I have truly found the love in cooking and eating again and I am so thrilled to share my food with others. I have tested all my recipes on my friends and even my picky husband. FYI he HATES shrimp and he loves the shrimp I made, so if I can get him to eat it, there has to be something amazing about it all.
