Beginning a modest, grassroots custom cake business has been the best diet aid that I ever could have conceived insofar as I have lost any and all taste for cake of any kind. My next venture will be custom made french fries and custom things-made-from-M&Ms.

Fortunately I do other things besides wield butcher knives over delectable fondant creations. I have worked as a freelance writer off and on for the past few years and currently I am in the process of writing my first novel. This has proved the most difficult project of my life to date; this list includes things like pregnancy and childbirth and a very unwelcome colonoscopy at the age of 26. Fortunately it has also been one of the most rewarding and has allowed me to put certain things into perspective. In comparison, losing almost 60 pounds following the birth of my daughter was no big shakes.

I kind of joined the site toward the end of my journey which sort of sucks for me, but better late than never. Be my friend!
