my developing healthy relationship with food..
i continually get so excited about this, because it's always been so difficult over the years to even want to cook.. All that mattered were my binges, and eventually lost sight of even cooking a healthy meal anymore.. For years & years, it was junkfood, processed foods, fast foods... And for a girl who once loved to cook & bake - collect recipes and experiment with different foods, i grew to hate the kitchen..

i isolated myself from so many things i love in life - and so being able to stand in my kitchen again, and get re-inspired to cook and make such pretty, colorful dishes fills my heart with joy.. Mr Mtn and i have been healthying up recipes which is so much fun to do.. We are both so passionate about healthy eating and creating delicious dishes - and it's such a fun thing to do together..

i even find myself skipping through the aisles of the grocery store these days, when once i stressed and hated trips to the grocery store.. And i shop so differently now.. i love the produce aisles and the health food/organic sections most, and skipping the junk food and processed foods altogether..

i'm just so friggin' proud of myself..& the children too, because they are also getting as passionate about healthy eating and caring about their well-being... That makes me smile big!
