how i got here.

Hi, I’m Gabby!  I started Live,Laugh,YUM! about 5 years ago and I couldn’t be more proud of what it’s become.  While cooking and testing recipes, I love doing Pure Barre. Both have become such important things in my life and they have become two distinct things that have defined me as a person.

I have my Master of Science Degree in Nutrition with a concentration in Obesity and Nutritional Health from Northeastern University.  I took all of my classes online while I worked at the same time, and of course cooked!  But the real reason that I got interested in nutrition is because I used to have an eating disorder in my undergraduate years.  I would not eat enough for my body’s needs, and therefore I lost too much weight and looked way too thin.  As time passed, I became more into eating healthy rather than not eating at all.  Now, almost 9 years later, I nourish and fuel my body.  I don’t think about how many calories I’m eating, I’m thinking more about the nutrients in my food.  I think about being healthy and strong, not skinny!

I hope to pass along these messages through my posts on my blog.  I want everyone to know that eating healthy doesn’t necessarily have to be super time consuming or hard for that matter.  It can be fun and delicious!  Live a healthier life, don’t diet, and indulge once in a while.
