Artworks now Low Carb AND Gluten Free

14th May 2015 2:29 am / 4 Comments /

The other day I saw a post from Upworthy where a french graphic designer created the Gluten Free Museum where works of art, tv and movie scenes etc are re-created devoid of bread and wheat.

So, basically it was a bunch of images with no food in them…. My odd mind started thinking “Hmmmm there is now room for a Pork Roast in that painting” and other thoughts. Those who know me, know I love messing around with Photoshop so I decided to further this series of art calling it the “LCHF for LIFE” series.

In the (ever-shrinking) shadow of my superstar husband lies 4 newborn babies!

24th October 2013 12:33 am / 3 Comments /

 

Ever since we have gone LCHF it has been my husband, Chris, who has had the most impressive weight loss out of the 2 of us. He has lost an incredible 36kg to date and is definitely the star of this show. Personally, I couldn’t believe what was happening to him, and right before my very eyes. I mean I see him EVERY day, we work together, live together, eat together, and sleep together and it was truly blowing my mind how fast this man was shrinking!

It was all very private and personal up until this point because 2 years ago we moved 5 hours away from most of our family and friends and don’t often get to see them in person anymore. It was private and personal up until I proudly shared his photo on Facebook! It definitely sparked lots of interest from our friends who wanted to know how he did it. So to save repeating the same story 50 times over we created the Edify website.

Everybody loves an incredible weight loss story, especially with amazing before and after photos. I am so incredibly proud of my husband and words cannot express how  grateful I am to know he is no longer heading to an early grave, especially after seeing how close his own father was to death a couple of years ago as a result of being morbidly obese and diabetic. While I have never cared about anybody’s weight, I have always been frightened of the health complications that come with obesity.

So in the ever-shrinking shadow of my superstar husband, I too have been losing weight. Frustratingly not as much, or as fast, as said superstar but plodding along nicely. 12kg in total over a 6 month period. I wanted to make this post for all of you, like me, that get frustrated with a slower weight loss than all those superstars out there. I wanted to encourage you, like I sometimes have to encourage myself, that these things DO take time. I had a bit of an epiphany in the shower the other day. While I was feeling sorry for myself in ONLY having lost 12kg, for some strange reason I thought about the weight of my beautiful daughter when she first entered this world. She weighed 3kg. Then it hit me, I have lost the weight of 4 .. that’s FOUR  .. newborn babies!!!
