Day 1 - Why SkinnyStephy?

Because the domain name was available.

Just kidding.

Seriously, though.  I've been blogging since 2012 or so.  I'm a writer by trade, so "they" told me I needed a platform.

But that's not what this platform is about.  Here's the story...It goes back a ways:

When I was growing up, I was Skinny Stephanie.  I weighed, like, 95 pounds just out of high school. The Freshman 15 was a pipe dream.  I was skinny, and there was nothing I could do about it.  Nothing.

"That sounds wonderful," you may say.  But it wasn't.  I was skinny as a rail, and people would say things like, "One day, I'll be as skinny as Stephanie."

I ached to be 125.

It did happen.  When I was about 30.  But the weight just kept on coming.  I had a baby, and the weight just kept on coming.

Now that I'm welllllll over 40, I want to weigh around 140.  It would work for my height.  But I have no clue how to lose it.

Actually, I do:  eat right and exercise.  I exercise and enjoy it, but I eat like I did when I was a kid and never learned to lose weight.  Even 2 pounds off would help a lot.

I want to live to be 100, and I can't do that if I'm carrying visceral fat.

So that's what this blog is about.  I really don't want to be skinny again...That doesn't look healthy.  But I do want to learn how to eat healthy and lose some of the fat.

This is my journey.
