I'm Josie,
Mom, daughter, sister, friend, business owner, and sugar addicted stress eater..
I was 38 when I got pregnant with my daughter. The same week I got pregnant I had a skiing accident which led to a total ACL reconstruction of my left knee. The rigorous exercise program and healthy eating habits that I had followed for ten years was put on hold. In the years that followed, my fairy tale life of love, marriage, family, health and fitness, began to unravel around me. With that, I became a stress eater and sugar my culprit.

Fast forward … My daughter is 14 and I am 80 pounds over weight, I have tried every diet including the “Raw” diet without success. Today I am challenging myself to change; change my eating habits, change the way I feel about myself, CHANGE.... I will be blogging daily, starting with today, my 53rd birthday. I will share with you my challenges, some solutions I come up with, photos, recipes and each success. It is my hope and desire to make a difference in my life as well as the lives of everyone that visits me here. Thank you for supporting me. I am now publicly accountable to myself and each of my readers. Come back often to read and see how I evolve. My goal for this year is weight loss and wellness. My diet is simple, whole foods and nothing artificial! I am using experience, logic and you to keep me going.

Foods That Prevent Cancer: Day 52

Some days are easier then others. I definitely over ate last night. To much brown rice with ginger, garlic and peppers. Even when it’s good for you, you can over eat. I’ve only felt stuffed twice on this journey and it’s a feeling I want to avoid.

My sister Rosalie shared a link yesterday in comments. I thought I would share it with you. “My Approach”

I’ve been thinking about cancer fighting foods so I thought I would share a few links that provide some suggestions for choosing foods rich in antioxidants.
