The Blogger
Hi, I'm so glad you're here!! I'm Veronika and I love healthy food, photography, and telling stories — not only with words but also through photos and videos. I'm a creative person, I'm always creating new things and my goal is to make a change in the world, one person at a time. I started my blog in April 2015 and though a lot has changed, my passion for food, cooking, and sharing recipes is still here. I hope I'm able to study nutrition one day so I have more knowledge of nutrition to share with you.
Long Story Short
To tell you my whole story, I'd have to sit you down for two hours to be able to get to it all. To sum it up for both our sakes, I suffered from several health problems, I was obese, I had back problems, and I was just unhappy with myself on so many levels. Then came a breaking point, I realized I can't go on living my life that way and I decided it was time to do something about it all. I stared going to physiotherapy to take care of my back problems and changed my diet to lose the excess weight. I gradually started to eliminate unhealthy food from my diet and started losing kilo after kilo. First I gave up sugary drinks and fast food, then red meat, anything with too much sugar, anything fried, or with too much bad oil. Eventually, I gave up dairy and gluten too and my stomach issues virtually disappeared. It's not about deprivation and restrictions. It's about adding so much of the good stuff into your diet that the bad stuff naturally disappears from your diet. I'm still not at my goal weight, not am I 100% healthy and happy with myself. It's something you have to work on every single day but it's totally worth the effort, I promise you.
