I've lived through it all in my short period of life on earth. My entire life I have been overweight, thanks mainly due to the lack of health food education in my school system and home-life. Now that I have been on Sparkpeople, I have learned that flipping through the stages of starvation, extreme exercising and/or overeating is not the way of life.

I've lived through it all in my short period of life on earth. My entire life I have been overweight, thanks mainly due to the lack of health food education in my school system and home-life. Now that I have been on Sparkpeople, I have learned that flipping through the stages of starvation, extreme exercising and/or overeating is not the way of life.

Now that it has been over a year, I have taught myself (along with assistance from my spark friends) the true way of living life. I'm not 100% vegan and happier than ever with the foods that I eat! I love baking/cooking which has sparked my love for making delicious new recipes for my family and friends.

I still have a long way to go but I know that every day is a step closer to knowing more about our bodies and our souls. I hope to encourage others through my personal experience and pray that I learn more about myself in the journey. I'm looking to lose the rest of the weight that a poor education has given me and spark a new career during the path to a healthier, happier lifestyle.
