Starting a new chapter + Spicy Miso Kale Chips Review
Okay so over the years about let's say 4 years ago I started to gain weight, specially around 2013, is when I really packed on the weight, I went from around 140lbs to 170 80 lbs and around 2014 I went over the 200 pound mark. I knew I was gaining weight, and if by some crazy reason I would forget I would not have to worry since my mom makes sure to remind me every day. Then I started to work, and I started to loose weight, but after I stopped working, I gained the weight back. I been wanting to loose the weight, go into those faces where I would work out every day but then my muscles would ache so bad I would just stop. Besides the lack of activity, my eating habits didn't help. Yes, actually, my mom eats really healthy and since we were little we eat home cooked meals the majority of the time, eat lots of veggies and fruits. However, it is hard to control my portions. Now maybe this has nothing to do with it, but when I was in High School I used to be in the school's soccer team, and naturally I would get a lot of exercise, and I would eat a lot! Then I quit soccer, and let's just say over time my life became less and less active, but I still kept eating as much and sometimes even more then to those active days. The thing that made me face my prolem though was let's say a person who is supposed to be my friend..had the audacity to send me an invitation to a "fat girls' club" at first I thought to myself wtf..really this is not for me, yeah I may be a bit on the heavy side but I am not FAT. Then I realized I was lying to myself, it was true I was not fat, no, not only was I past just on the heavy side, I am obese. So I decided that I will turn my life around, not just so I can wear cute clothes again but for my own physical and mental health. One of the thigs I knew I had to get control of was my snacking and full on eating during the night, and my extreme lack of sleep. I though it would be an unrealistic goal to just try not to snack during the night, so I decided maybe if they are healthy snack it will be different, and it will help me achieve a more healthy lifestle overall. So I went trough a website and looked trough all the stuff and tried to pick out healthy alternatives for things such as chips, I ended up ordering several things. Today everything I ordered arrived and when I first opened the box, I decided instead of trying out everything, I would just choose one and try it, and until i finished that i would not try out anything else. So the first thing I didn't know if I would like were the miso kale chips, first of all I have never eaten kale chips or kale for that matter, and I have never had miso, but it had lots of good reviews so I decided why not. Well from when I first opened it, it did not look very apatizing and it did not smell very good to me ut despite that I had one. Now it was defenately spicy, really spicy, but it had this earthy flavor, dont know if that was the kale or the miso, but my tastebuds did not like it. At first I was upset, I though I just wasted money and well that would be the end of my health kick, but then I though, it must have been meant to be, a sign to eancourage me. I mean what is the chance that out of all the things I ordered I would decide to try out the miso kale chips first and that I would dislike them so much, I thought maybe if I ate some more I would grown accostumed to it, but then I though in a way its good, if i get a craving for let's say savory things in the middle of the night or between meals, I could just have 2 or 3 kale chips, it would prevent me from over indulging. If I had loved the chips then I probaly would have finished the container by now, which contain about as much chips as in a regular sized bag of lays. So if you don't mind an earthy flavor (strong earthy flavor) and like spicy stuff then this kale chips are defenatey for you, for me they are not, at least for the moment, but I will not let it go to waste, but I will not stuff my face with it either XD
