Back to My Roots
Tuesday, August 22, 2006
Even though I consider this is a food blog first, it's also at it's heart a weight loss blog. Yet for some obscure reason (lost even to me) I've mentally fought the urge to talk about where I came from and to show my "before" picture. Perhaps some part of me didn't want to dwell in the past.
I feel that another part didn't want to do the big reveal until I'd reached my goal weight. I haven't given up hope in reaching this incredible milestone, but I have backed down a bit on my hesitation to expose my former self. As a result, I've posted a more comprehensive "About Me" page.
I've worked so hard these last 18 months to create an air of authenticity in my cooking, writing and photography. I feel like it's a good time to pull the cover off some old memories and parade them around for millions (ok, scores) of people to read.
Enjoy!

Man...you are like a far cooler Jarred (plus...you aren't evil like that subway punk!) ;) I'm not going to say congratulations...I'm going to say...keep up the good work as I know what a struggle it is to keep weight off!

Thank you for your generosity to share your story (and recipes). I'm currently about where you were, and starting to feel how you felt. Your story is hope to someone like me. I love my food but I want so bad to cast a shadow that is more familiar and doesn't scare small children.

Thanks to all!! I'd be lying if I said that I didn't get a little boost from my commenters. You guys make this worth doing.
WMM - Wow, this whole internet charade is working. I'm WAY geekier than I let on here!

Ok, I'll take back my last statement...maybe you made a secret deal with the devil to make you lose weight..in that case you should be making ads or something ;)
