Dear America, Get Over Your Fat Phobia

Posted by Stacy on May 16, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 134 comments

This post brought to you by the dozens of people who e-mail and comment to me in order to provide unsolicited dietary advice at least daily that I should stop eating carbs in order to lose weight. Dear America, get over your fat phobia. Seriously, being overweight is nothing more than a simple fact. Weight is an indicator of health – not the definition. SEVEN out of TEN people in this country are overweight… you can’t judge and be afraid of 70% of America and still be happy with your own life. After having lost over 100lbs and keeping it off for 3 years I feel slightly...

A Fat Girl’s Confession on Starting Crossfit

Posted by Stacy on Jan 24, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 11 comments

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you – no doubt – have seen my CrossFit photos lately. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely, genuinely apologize for inundating you with photos of me doing stuff that probably irritates, annoys, confuses or befuddles most of you (which I’m also about to do in this post). Please understand, when you’ve been sitting on your arse for a year recovering from an autoimmune flair and adrenal fatigue and then get in the gym and deadlift 193lbs, you want to shout it from the rooftop and tell everyone you know. Especially after...

Why the Metabolically Broken Can’t Eat Carbs

Posted by Stacy on Jan 20, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 69 comments

As we’ve posted about several times, the entire family went on the 21-Day Sugar Detox after indulging a bit this holiday season. This post is the result of Stacy doing the detox. Now, I want to be very clear about what “indulge” means for us because I think it’s important to understand in the concept of why my results are so drastic. Why we ate sugar at all to begin with We are not Paleo Perfectionists. We eat sugar, sometimes. Mostly it’s treats for the kids. Sometimes it’s treats for others. And not seldom, it’s recipes we’re making to perfect...

The Healthiest Ice Cream EVER

Posted by Stacy on Jan 6, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 59 comments

I hesitate to call this The Healthiest Ice Cream Ever, because maybe someone’s going to make kale and bone marrow ice cream. But, as much as I’d give it a whirl, I doubt it’d please your palate – and your kids – the way this version does. Seriously, my kids refused to stop licking the spoon when we were making it. And then begged for it while we awaited the ice cream firming up. Then I told them it was made with a vegetable and no sugar. And they shrugged their shoulders and put their faces back into the bowls. So, there you have it. Picky eater? This one is a...

What Losing 135lbs Looks Like

Posted by Stacy on Aug 20, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 267 comments

So, I’ve previously talked about what losing 100lbs feels like. And then we followed that up with what losing 200lbs feels like. This post isn’t about that. This post is about the reality of being happy with your body, because you’re healthy, and for that reason alone. That said, I specifically request you not bombard the comments of this post with suggestions on how to tighten my skin with bone broth, improve imperfections you see or discuss anything other than acceptance of ourselves. We women are our own worst enemies, we are the creators of judgement against our own...
