I wanted to introduce myself!

I am Megan Miller, wife of Jordan Miller for the last ten glorious years and mom to three fun loving kids Diego, Ellington and Sonrie. Long story short I love food and I love to cook. I love to go out to dinner and try new things. I love to cook for other people and especially  I love to serve the less fortunate with a meal. But I have had drama with food that with the support of family, friends and God, I am healing everyday from!

My food drama started when I was a teenager. I had always loved food and cooking. My mom cooked for us every night and she is an amazing cook! She still continues to teach me every time we cook together:) I was always a little bigger then the other girls. When I look back on pictures I cant believe I thought I didnt look good but sadly my body image was flawed. So I decided that i was going to do something about it and became anorexic. Addicted to exercise, which meant that if i didnt do it 2 hours a day i would have a meltdown. I would only eat like an apple and half a sandwich a day on somedays. I will let you more about that later but needless to say it started a battle with food that would last 15 years.

I ended up in outpatient rehab for food disorders at 31 years of age. I was pregnant with my second child and was not eating.  My husband noticed something was not right and told me i needed help. It was such a blessing. Even though i had learned in college how bad starving yourself was and all that it just never stuck because of my disease. And that is what I had to learn it was a disease. I had something wrong with my brain that caused me not to see myself correctly and I had to change that. I had to learn to love the person God made me whether I was skinny or not. After one year I was happy to graduate a healthier happier wife and mother. It helped but the disease always lingers. I deal with it from time to time but now i know how to combat it and thats a good feeling. I no longer let it trap me.

Continuing on my journey, I have tried many different ways of eating to lose the baby weight three times and to also live a healthier lifestyle. Along with my battles with anorexia I will also be sharing about my stuggle with food intolerances and how my faith has helped me though as well as some healthy recipes ranging from my famous no bake cookies to savory dishes like spagetti squash Alia Olio!  I hope to help many that stuggle with food drama become healthy, happy and to love food again!!
