Hello and welcome to The Healthy-ish Spork. My name is Jazmine and I’m so glad you’re here. Now that you’re here let me take you back to beginning when this blog was just a little seed.
The Beginning
The seed that is this blog was planted way back in 2014. I was hating the way I looked and wanting to lose weight. The problem was I wasn’t into dieting and eating rabbit food all day everyday. So I set out to find a way I could eat the things I love but still lose weight. My search eventually led me to Pinterest. There I came across a blog that changed my life. As I read the authors inspiring story two words stood out to me. The words were lifestyle change. I knew then that I needed to change the way I thought about food. It was then that I realized that I could still eat all the foods I love I just had to find healthier versions of them. A few months later I found myself 50 lbs. lighter. Along the way friends and family would ask for recipes and from that the seed that is this blog was planted. Fast forward a few and the healthy-ish spork was born.
