Introduction Text I'm a fun and fabulous lady, who has always been proudly plus size. I love my curves and would never want them to go away. I don't consider myself frumpy or dumpy and I certainly don't hate my body. I would even call myself something of a fatshionista! However, recently I've decided that I need to take a stronger role in my own health and lifestyle. I got on the scale a couple of weeks ago (I blame my roommate for putting it in the bathroom!) and found that it read 299. I thought it had to be broken. No way have I ever weighed that much. I haven't even had to go up a pant size! But no, it was true. This, along with the fact that I'm a recent college graduate and just got a full time job lead me to the the realization that I don't have any more excuses for treating my body like crap. So, although I have no desire to be a Skinny Minnie, I need to get back to a healthy lifestyle. I turned back to SparkPeople after signing up and forgetting about it years ago. I've lost 4.3 pounds since that 299 revelation. Here's to many more! And not devolving into a shame/hate/self-loathing spiral along the way.

To get back down to a curvy and manageable weight. Eat more whole, local foods. Yoga class twice a week. Run/walk/or elliptical three times a week. Register for a Disney Race.

No fast food. This means nothing with a drive-thru attached to it (except Starbucks). Less sodium. Less diet cola. MORE VEGGIES. MORE TEA.

I'm from Tucson, AZ and currently living in the Tampa Bay Area. Read my Tumblr here: http://sequinissues.tumblr.com/

I'm a performing arts junkie. I love to cook. I'm looking forward to getting some new, healthy recipes under my belt!
