About Me
I love food, live on a budget, and diets never really worked for me. I always thought I ate fairly healthy. I ate my vegetables, limited sweets and going out to eat - and yet I still watched my waist line grow bigger each year. I knew I needed to make some changes, but I really didn't know how, and I didn't think I could afford to eat any healthier.
For years I thought TRUE healthy eating was EXPENSIVE, TOOK TOO MUCH TIME, and meant eating STRANGE FOODS that TASTED BAD. But was that reality, or just excuses?
I am a 30-something stay-home mom of two small girls, and wife of an amazing husband of 13 years. I have tried those “yo-yo diets”, losing the same 20 pounds over and over.
This year I finally stopped making excuses and actually did something about my weight. I have lost nearly 35 pounds and 9 inches - without compromising my budget or taste buds.
I scoured the web, cookbooks, my friends and family for information, advice, recipes, and articles for getting and staying healthy. My husband and I decided to follow the principles taught by Take Shape For Life, and within 10 weeks, I lost 35 pounds, and my husband lost an incredible 60 pounds. Everyone asked us to share what we have learned.
I created HEALTHY -- CHEAP AND SIMPLE to provide an easy, delicious, and affordable online guide for eating healthier and living healthier even when money is tight.
My goal is not to claim any specific weight loss program is a perfect "one size fits all". I agree with doctors, nutritionists, and health professionals in believing that the old tried and true “eating better and moving more” is the best way to lose weight. However, some need a little extra "jump start" to their path to healthy living. Whatever HEALTHY method works for you, I support you in your way to healthy living!
Hopefully together we can continue to learn how making healthy choices is not only healthy for our bodies, but for our budgets, too.
To your heath,
Sarah Corbin
