Never trust a skinny chef they say....
I got to a point that I didn't think I should be cooking for others; simply because of where I'd eaten myself to. One thing I did do well...was eat myself there on only the best! French food, German food, more French food.....cream butter and cheese hate me...as much as I love(d) them.
Some of you are aware (and the rest of you can guess) I am a high volume / high end catering chef at a major university. Who am I to cook for 2000 young people if I can't eat healthy myself.
Between that, and the fact that I let myself believe that a major knee surgery would keep me from exercising forever...I gained over 100 lbs in 7 years...
So:
I am losing weight, so that I know that I am capable of serving great, AND healthy food to others.
I am losing weight to gain
energy.
I am losing weight to prove to myself, and anyone listening...that major injury is NOT an excuse not to do something.
Oh...and I am losing weight, so the muscle I gain while doing it...actually shows. (add the rest of the details in there..that's the selfish line of thought)
