I'm a 34yr old female living in Toronto, ON. I work during the day as an Office Manager downtown, and in my offtime I do photography and craft stuff, go here to see more (www.darklydesigned.com)

I went to a Dietitian years ago to get on track with healthier eating when I found out I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure at only the age of 25. Don't get me wrong, I'm not obese, nor did I have really terrible eating habits. It seems I'm the lucky recipient of genetics, and they've been passed down to me... Happy Joy..

At the time I found out I had high cholesterol/blood pressure, I was able to lose weight by eating better portions and following the Canadian Food Guide and my Dietitian's Custom Instructions. Also I was walking every day which certainly made a difference as I don't think that changing my diet would have helped on it's own.

Since that time though plenty has happened in my life. My fiance and I broke up and as a result I have a different schedule, go to a different work, take a different route, and don't have a family to share these things with anymore. So now more than ever I need to get back up to speed with myself and how I take care of my body. Here's to a better lifestyle and feeling better about myself!
