I was looking for positivity in my life and I wanted to reach out to other women who were struggling with the same things that I was not just about food and weight, but with all aspects of life. I started the blog on Octowhich was when I began my journey to health. I played in sports for many years, but I obviously knew I wouldn’t be pitching for the Blue Jays any time soon.

If you don’t know what your passions are you surely can’t act on them.įor so long, my passion was my eating disorder and it took up all of my free time. Why did I defeat myself so early on in the game?īecause I simply didn’t know what my passions were! Sure, I thought I could be happy if I had a well-paying career, but I never thought that I would be able to do something unconventional for a career. I just felt like I would never be able to find the means to follow my dreams like these other successful women did. I remember feeling these thoughts when I was just 15 or 16 years old.

We are talking about an early strike-out here. I could watch story after story after story, but for some reason I would always walk away from it saying to myself, ‘I can’t do what they did.’ I loved hearing about other women’s triumphs and how they went from working a horrible job to running their own business or going back to school to get a degree. Those shows were always inspiring yet anxiety provoking for me. I was asked, ‘How did you know that it was what you wanted to do?’įor the first 25 years of my life, I had no clue that this is what would make me happy.ĭo you remember the Oprah episodes from years and years ago about finding a career that would make you happy? The other day I was asked what led me to discover my passion for the blogs and bakery. Soft and chewy and crispy and comforting. Sometimes only cereal will do! Trail Mix Spelt CerealĮven though I slightly over-cooked the Glonola, almond milk makes it all better. I don’t have cereal too often because I find it doesn’t fill me up, but this morning I was just craving a bowl with tons of mouth-water toppings.
