One of my best freinds is 6' 1'' and and she gets comments ALL the time.  "Wow, youre tall...do you play basketball?".  If she only had a nickel for every time someone said this! haha.  Eventually she just started responding by asking "No. do you play miniature golf?" hahaha I love that.

I blame the birth of my brother when I was six. haha. If you look at my first grade picture compared to my second grade picture, its obvious that I should have been an only child for the sake of my waist!

I'm an emotional eater.  And I am often overly emotional.  Therefore I often overly eat.   I lost 100lbs out-thinking my emotions, but with happy relationships (BF love) comes happy eating emotions that are hard to deny!

Gained 15lbs recently and now I'm trying to lose 25.  Oye. it never ends.

(Now that I look all of this over, I think I can sum it up: men.  Yes, I blame men for obesity.  hahaha.  (just kidding guys))

Here are some good responses to the question "why were you fired?"

duh.  I should read other people's posts BEFORE i reply (and duplicate a recipe).  haha

haha.  my bf is a very healthy vegetarian going on 7 years and believe me, the gas doesnt always go away. :P  but the trade off is wonderful health, so I *gas* its worth it.  (heehee ;D)

Instead of oil spray for sauted veggies I either use low sodium veggie broth or balsamic vinegar. 

As a bread moistener (aka instead of mayo) I either use either vegenaise or tomato paste.  vegenaise isn't all that good for you, so I ususally use tomato paste.

Instead of parmesean I use nutritional yeast with a little bit of finely crumbled walnuts.

Instead of salt: kelp sprinkles.

instead of soy sauce: bragg's liquid aminos.

When I'm craving sweets, I have a few carob chips.  mmm mmm.

Instead of butter on veggies I squeeze a lemon over them - delicious!!! on green beans is especially amazing.
