The Food Fun Sucker!

My first Blog!  Let me introduce myself...my name is Terri Patterson but my family generally references me as "The Food Fun Sucker".  One day while sitting in Swiss Chalet for dinner with my daughter Desiree we were approached by the waitress for our orders.  Desiree ordered a garden salad (my heart swelled, I finally got through to her) BUT to my surprise she order French dressing (which made me cringe) but then she was so bold she ordered TWO dressings!!

I tried yet again to explain to her that that dressing was filled with fat and food dyes etc... she would have nothing to do with that statement and turned to me and said "Mom, I can't believe you sucked the fun out of my salad..you really are The Food Fun Sucker and that was the moment my new name was born.

It's not easy being The Food Fun Sucker...not many people want you to have dinner with them as I am always looking at what and how much people eat and it is really really hard for me to tell people what the food choices they are making are doing to their bodies.  No one wants that girl around very often :(

I have to bite my tongue often as most days are filled with lies lies lies and more lies.  When people embark on any weight loss journey only 5% succeed...pretty small number.  So you can imagine with all the people I see day to day that not that many are successful BUT when they are oh what a feeling for me!!!  

I hope this Blog is helpful for people.  I plan on introducing you to some of my clients (of course names have been changed to protect the innocent LOL).  I hope you can identify with some of these clients and find yourself in them and hopefully I can educate you on proper Nutrition & Wellness afterall proper Nutrition, a good nights Sleep, limited Stress, reduced Chemical consumption and most importantly balancing of your Hormones are the key to a long healthy life.

Come on this journey with me and be the healthiest you can be!

Your friend,

Terri
