You CAN Start Over!
January 1, 2017. That was the day that I decided I was going to start over. With just a little bit of research on Low-Carb Diets from a few Google searches, I set out to make something happen. Anything. I just knew that I wasn’t happy, and I so desperately wanted to be happy. I began to monitor what I ate. Like REALLY monitor it. I planned my meals. I packed my lunches for work and stuck only to that every day. I didn’t participate in work potlucks or parties. I planned my dinners. My family didn’t even recognize that I’d lost weight until I had dropped 40 pounds, and I lived with them at the time. Can you imagine having to go 4 months knowing that you were succeeding, but getting no validation outside of yourself? That’s exactly what I had to do. A weight loss journey, just like any other journey, is a very personal experience. It requires patience with yourself, grace, and lots of love. It takes loving yourself to make changes to how you look or feel. That’s the hardest pill to swallow. Recognizing that I really wasn’t loving myself enough prior to find myself worthy of being healthy.
Today is the day. Today is the day that you can fall back in love with you.
Dishing with Dorcas is here to serve as a resource for those who have been misled and miseducated on what “healthy” really consists of. Years of research and experience have gone into this business and the vision we have for the City of Memphis, Tennessee, and the entire country.
More love.
