(Headline): I got the last laugh

I used to be a little on the “plus side”...
Actually, who am I kidding? I was 5’ 7” and 215...and no matter what I told myself back then, I did not “wear it well.”

But now that I’m down to 167 and counting, I can’t WAIT to share my story! See, back then I had this one coworker who was a TOTAL JERK
He was a gym rat who was in great shape. If he wasn’t so mean, I probably would’ve had a crush on him...
Anyway, he would always see me walk in with my big creamy frap and say...
“THAT is basically a milkshake for adults. No wonder you barely fit through the door!”
At the time, I would always snap back with some sort of comeback. I didn’t want to look like I couldn’t take it. The whole office was full of guys like him so I wanted to prove I was “one of the guys”.
But deep down, it HURT!
On the one hand, I felt insulted. Like he was talking down to me because of my favorite coffee choice.
On the other, I secretly wondered if he was right. So one night I did some searching online.....and I discovered this mind blowing video that proved that my favorite coffee was NOT the problem.
In fact, by watching that video, I discovered a simple 30 second “coffee trick” I could use to transform it into the ultimate metabolism boost!
So I started using that “coffee trick” myself.....and within a few weeks, Mr. Jerkface had a VERY different reaction.

All the sudden, he was standing there drooling with nothing to say.....because I was in a WAY smaller and more flattering dress AND I was still drinking the same coffee as always.

At one point, he even walked up to me after work and asked what I was doing differently...and then he actually tried to ask me out!
TBH...it’s not out of the question.
But for now I’ve told him “maybe” and I’m enjoying watching him squirm
Anway, I hope you’ll give this “coffee trick” a shot like I did! It’s truly changed my life and I couldn’t be happier.

Recipe for Fruit Salad with Sago
Ingredients to make Sago Fruit Salad:
• 1 cup of sago (tapioca pearls)
• 1 can of condensed milk
• 1 glass of coconut milk (200 ml)
• fruits to taste
How to make Fruit Salad with Sago:
Start by rinsing the sago well with running water, until the water comes out clean. This is important to eliminate the starch from the sago and make it firmer. Bring a pan with approximately 1.5 liters of water to the boil and wait for it to boil. When the water boils, lower the heat, add the sago and let it cook for 30 minutes or until the sago is transparent. Then drain and rinse the sago again, to eliminate the "drool" from it. In the blender, place the condensed milk and coconut milk and beat until blended. Place in a large bowl, add the drained sago and mix everything together. Apart from peeling and chopping the fruit you want to use - the fruit option is up to you, use whatever you have at home! In this case I used different types of melon that I separated using a spoon for fruit balls (fruit baller), and so I got a gourmet touch on this dessert! Mix the fruits in the condensed milk cream, coconut milk and sago and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Then you can serve your wonderful sago and fruit dessert! Bon appetite and tell us what you think in the comments.

BAKED POTATOES: HEALTHY RECIPE
The name of this recipe is a little misleading. This fries thing is not so clear: either they are fried or they are baked. The good news is that potatoes prepared this way will be the same as traditional French fries, but will be healthier, with a lot less oil. And all this, precisely, thanks to the fact that they are baked in the oven. With this step-by-step recipe we will see all the details, such as time, cooking temperature and oil distribution.
Ingredients
3 potatoes
vegetable oil
salt to taste
Step by step preparation
Pre-heat the oven at 180 °.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices about a centimeter or centimeter and a half thick. Then cut these slices into toothpicks about a centimeter thick.
Soak the potatoes in water in a pot or container for about 10 minutes. The idea is to decrease the amount of starch that contributes to sticking when cooked. Drain and dry.
Then they are transferred to a container to coat them with oil, as if they were a salad. Then you have to stir them so that the oil spreads well.
Now it's time to arrange the potatoes to put them in the oven. The ideal is to use the baking sheet lined with parchment or parchment paper, although the rack can also be used. They must be spread out so that they do not touch.
It's time to put the potatoes in the preheated oven. They typically take about 45 minutes to cook. Anyway, it's good to keep an eye on them and follow the evolution of color. In the end we should have golden and crispy potatoes. Another important thing is that if it is an oven that produces heat from above and below, there should be no need to move them during cooking.
1. After removing the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle them with salt to taste.

RATATOUILLE, FRENCH VEGETARIAN RECIPE
The ratatouille recipe is one of the best known in French cuisine, but it became much more famous after the Disney movie of the same name.
The truth is that few dishes are as effective as this one to gather so many vegetables and take away so much flavor.
The main ingredients for making homemade ratatouille are tomatoes, peppers, onions, eggplant and zucchini, but like many vegetable dishes, you can use whatever you have on hand in the fridge and/or pantry.
Ingredients
• 3 tomatoes
• 1 green pepper
•2 garlic cloves
• 1 eggplant
• 1 zucchini
• 1 white onion
• 1 red pepper
• Salt to taste
• chili powder to taste
•Olive oil
• thyme to taste
• rosemary to taste
• 2 bay leaves
Step by step preparation
1. To start, we are going to peel the garlic and onion and cut them into very thin slices.
2. Next, we are going to wash the tomatoes and cut them into thin wheels.
3. To continue, let's wash the peppers, eggplant and zucchinis. We will remove the ends and seeds (in the case of peppers), cut into slices and keep each vegetable separately.
4. Now let's heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, let's fry the onion and garlic for five minutes, stirring constantly. At the end of the cooking time, we will remove the pan from the heat, but we will leave the vegetables inside.
5. We are also going to heat oil in a frying pan, to cook the vegetables individually, and thus preserve their flavor better. We will start with the eggplant pieces, which we will cook for five minutes to soften them, after seasoning and mixing.
6. When the cooking time is over, transfer the cooked eggplants to the pan, with the onion and garlic.
7. We are going to heat more oil in the pan, over medium heat, and this time we are going to cook the peppers of both colors, also for five minutes and then season them.
8. We will also transfer them to the pan and repeat the procedure with the zucchinis. After seasoning and cooking for five minutes, we will do the same with the tomatoes, but this time for 10 minutes. We are also going to sneeze and finally we are going to pass them to the pot.
9. With all the vegetables in the pan, mix them and season with a bay leaf, a touch of thyme and a touch of rosemary. Then we will heat the preparation over low heat and, once hot, let it cook for another 10 minutes.
10. At the end of this time, we will taste the ratatouille to check the seasoning and, if necessary, correct with the wrong salt and/or pepper.
11. That's all. The ratatouille is now ready to be served, if you want to eat it hot. However, this dish can also be eaten cold. If you want a more visually pleasing presentation, you can alternate different vegetable slices or different colors.
