Who needs nacho cheese on nachos? I don’t. I don’t need faux nacho cheese either. What I need to achieve the same taste & feeling of nachos I used to get at the College cafeteria are these ingredients:
-BEARITOS organic unsalted corn nacho chips
-chickpeas
-organic “canned” hot jalapeños
-salsa
-finely shredded romaine lettuce
Delish!
I am 184.8 lbs. YES!
I haven’t weighed this little since ‘08. My body is starting to look like the body that “is” my body. You know, how I remember my body in my mind. It’s refreshing yet shocking, because I have lost almost 40 lbs in two months. Yes bitches, 40 LBS IN TWO MONTHS!
Break out the champagne!
Hand me my barf bag and let the vomiting commence!
I love this list! Bring it on Farmers’ Market!

I love this Black Bean & Cilantro Pesto recipe dearly! See how loved & worn it is? :D
Last night I had a delightful dream about eating arugula! I was rolling the arugula up into little rolls and then eating them! Just like I do in real life with salad! (yes, I do not eat salad with a fork! Eat greens with my hands like they are chips or sushi rolls. It is a much more delightful experience for me! I savor every handful and delight in every bite! Yay for greens and greens in dreams!)
Here’s my current “during” photo at 192 pounds.
I have been alternating 2 pairs of sweats (go Chicago Bears & Detroit Tigers!) & a pair jeggings as I lose weight. All my jeans are too big, my old tights fall off of me, & I’m so fucking sick of sweats! They are fine for bed time, but I was starting to feel like a slob. I want to look pretty & not wear jeggings! So, today I bought a new pair of jeans. I took a size 11 to the dressing room & they fit! I used to wear a 15/16 & even they were too small this summer!
Hello success in the size 11! I’m down 2 pants sizes.
Deep breath…I had been very tentative to show a before photo, because I was so embarrassed of my weight gain. Here it is. Out on the internet for all of the world to see. Here’s the 218 pounds that were plaguing my knees and my mind. Just think that I had been even heavier than this! Hot damn! Look at all of those bad food choices. You can see them right there. Right there in my gut. It’s like someone had just blown me up.
In this photo, I was getting ready to attend the premier of the film East of Nowhere. I had a hand in making it possible. It was an excellent indie film. It was an honor to see how far it had come from when I first read the script.
I’ll post a now photo later.
I am a pretty girl, but I’ve never been “thin”. I’ve always been curvy, muscular, athletic, or just flat out…thick. I was always told that I was built the way I was because of genetics, bone structure, and a slow metabolism. Those statements are lies. I can lose weight. I am losing weight. I’ve lost a great deal of weight since I changed my life. I’m up to a total loss of 30.2 lbs and 20 since I switched to Dr. Fuhrman’s plan in his book, Eat to Live! And it’s all due to eating only VEGETABLES, FRUITS, BEANS (with one serving of whole grain a day) and NO SUGAR!
I tried so many different ways to lose weight. I tried crash diets only to gain back more weight. I’d tried diet pills and felt like I was on speed. I tried eating smaller portions of “whatever” I wanted and never succeeded. Flat out not eating worked and/or working out obsessively worked as well, but I still didn’t get down to super model thin. I never thought it was possible. Nope. Never ever. Do you think I’m being a bit premature saying this? Well, I don’t. This is the first time I have ever been fulfilled and been losing weight. That’s the key word: fulfilled. I didn’t think it was possible. I have watched family members struggle with weight. My mom had gastric bypass surgery. Most of my father’s side of the family is obese. I saw my impending age as a life sentence for obesity. IT’S NOT TRUE! I just had to change how I perceived food. I now see it as for NUTRITION. It’s not a remedy for emotional pain or boredom.
Last night before bed, my weight was 199! BEFORE BED! I’M UNDER 200 BEFORE BED! It’s been a good year and a half since I’ve been this weight. I am so pleased. Every morning when I look in the mirror envision myself thin and trim. It’s a smoking hot vision! ha!
My BMI gets lower everyday! It’s currently 28.1 and I lost another pound this morning! I’m down to 195.6! Success! I feel like this is due to my massive intake of greens, veggies, beans, and fruits and not snacking between meals! I’m giving myself the proper nutrients and allowing my body time to process them and then dig into my fat stores!
FAQ:
Are you getting enough protein?
Yes, I’m getting enough protein. Broccoli has more protein per ounce than steak. So does Kale! SCORE!

Are you starving yourself?
No, I’m not starving myself. I eat as many greens, veggies, fruits, and beans as I want during meal time! It’s fabulous! I had lunch the other day with a friend and had two bowls of my homemade chili with kidney beans and quinoa! TWO BOWLS. NO GUILT! & I STILL LOST 1/2 A POUND the next morning!
I hope you have a fabulous day and remember that you are wonderful, beautiful, and success will come your way!
