Hi! My favorite foods are the southern type of cooking. My mom made buttermilk cornbread, greens, green beans cooked with pork fatback, fried chicken, etc. I was not overweight as a child because I was so active. I was constantly riding my bike and jump roping. My overweight history (after all, History is my major!) began with my first pregnancy. My weight has steadily went up since then. I have made some progress over the years, only to fall back into the late night eating and unwise food choices. My friend has inspired me to start my weight loss journey again!
