2020 unleashed a series of events that took me by surprise. Although my intensifying struggle with my hair had been brewing for some years, epic health crisis, the emergence of COVID and lockdowns emboldened me to try something equally dramatic.

Serial Dieter: 12 Diets I Tried And Failed At (And What I’m Going To Try Next)
Confession: I am a Serial Dieter and this is a list of the 12 diets I’ve tried and failed at over my lifetime.
Nutrition is an overall health-related topic that needs to be included in this blog but as a serial diet failure, I was delaying as long as possible.

The initial intention was to wait until I had a better handle on my eating habits and had lost a significant amount of weight, but today I realized that this is a journey meant to be humbly shared. You need to know what I’ve tried, what I’ve failed at and what I’m going to try next going forward.

I have always advocated making life plans and daring to dream, but my optimistic agenda was drop-kicked and knocked unconscious last year. When I woke up, the world had changed, and so had I.
Still, nothing inspires dreams and new year goals like a pristine, blank calendar and the promise of a fresh start.
