Fed Up

Some of you may know me as PhillyChitChat, the social scene photographer, the lifestyle blogger, the foodie blogger, and I'm all of them. It's been an awesome experience to have a unique career as I have had, but behind the scenes I struggle with food, weight gain and a lot of unhappiness as my health is affected by my over indulgences.

Today I just feel really fed up. Fed up that I've stopped and started so many diets in my life time, some were successful, some not so much. In the last 5 years I've convinced myself that being 300lbs was ok. I'm fed up with that thinking. Behind the scenes it has wreaked havoc with my health. I have Diabetes. I was diagnosed in 2011. Most people lose weight when that happens, I just ignored it. I didn't really gain weight afterwards, but I certainly didn't lose weight or cut back on the carbs, sugar etc.

Today is the Day I got Fed Up and decided to work towards my goal of eating healthy in Philly. Hope you'll join me. Feel free to comment below, especially helpful thoughts and comments. I created this blog so I could be accountable, and to chronicle the journey in hopes of helping others.
