I started this blog to chronicle my weight loss journey. You can find out more about me in my introduction post. Many things have changed since then. I'm a type 2 diabetic and so I have specific dietary needs. I'm not a health expert, but I am learning how to take control of my disease through diet and exercise.
I hope this blog can inspire someone who is also trying to lose weight or take control of their health. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave them in the comments.
The reason I chose the title is because I have always loved Russian dolls, or matryoshkas as they are called which is a wooden figure which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. I feel like this describes me at the moment. There is a smaller person nesting inside of me. I'm just figuring out how to reveal her.
ETA: Although I started my blog at 250 lbs, my actual highest weight was 257. That's where I'm counting from because it's when I decided to start becoming more conscious of what I ate.
