My introduction weight loss video blog!

First off, I think you're pretty brave to do something like this--putting yourself out in the public eye is a big thing when so many people are willing to judge you solely on how you look without knowing what it's like (as you said in your video). Kudos to you!

I just wanted to point out that you don't have to be an awesome cook to not be dependent on frozen dinners. It's super-easy to make nice, healthy soups that are filling that you can freeze in portions and take to heat up wherever you go (literally, throw a bunch of veggies and some stock in a pot, add beans for protein, simmer for a bit, then portion out). It's also really easy to make a variety of soups using the same base but adding different flavours at the last minute (to a basic vegetable stock, add salsa and black beans for a Mexican flavour, or ginger and soy for an Asian-style soup). Bring along pre-cut veggies and some whole-grain bread if you're not cutting carbs and you've got a fast, healthy lunch that's better than the processed stuff. (Don't worry, though, I also love the convenience of grabbing a fast meal from the freezer when I don't want to cook!)

Good luck with your journey and keep up the video blogging!!

That's awesome! I subscribed to you. You are SO brave!

I keep my fitness blog on blogger:

I have that same problem with my fat cells producing too much estrogen too.

I bought a cook book and have been teaching myself to cook (Like from Julie and Julia.) I have the link to the cook book I'm working from on my blog.

I look forward to more vblogs!

Good luck. I love the idea of the videos! Makes it a bit more personal. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
