Why I started this?

There was a time were I was not over weight. I never thought that I would become over weight. I have always paid attention to what I was eating. Now with the inspiration of Jamie Oliver I have decided that I am going to make a difference. This time I am going to follow through with it. It seems that in someway I lost myself over the last 10 years while I was busy being married and raising kids I lost focus on other things. My weight issues happened after my first knee surgery and then got worse after my second serious knee surgery. The pain in my knee kept me from doing a lot. I love to swim although, even this hurts my knee. The weight I am sure needs to come off in order to help manage some of the pain. I have a cholesterol issue. So I have cut out most of the over proceeded food in our house to now making most of our foods from scratch. So join me as I work my way through the best food fight ever. I will post pictures and recipe of the food that we have tried.
