Grab a snack and pull up a chair…

Hi, I’m Lisa. For years, my world was marketing. I worked in the family business, shaping strategy, messaging, and growth. On the outside, it looked like I had it all together. But by 2020, I was burned out, unhealthy, and running on empty. I stepped back to focus on my health, and that decision reshaped not just my body, but my perspective on life.

I created Big Fat Skinny Dish when I was about 40 pounds into my weight loss journey. What began as a way to share recipes and encouragement has evolved alongside me. I lost 120 pounds and regained 65. My story isn’t neat or tied up with a before-and-after bow—it’s real life. And that’s what this space is all about.

Big Fat Skinny Dish was born out of frustration with diets that promised everything but left me feeling like I had failed, and it has grown into a community where real talk, food, and self-acceptance meet. Here, you’ll find:

• Honest conversations on the Big Fat Skinny Dish Podcast.
• Recipes that balance lightened-up favorites with the real thing.
• Tips, tricks, and tools that make the journey feel doable.
• A focus on self-acceptance as part of the process, not the end goal.
• A reminder that food and life are meant to be enjoyed.

This isn’t about chasing skinny or chasing numbers on the scale. It’s about finding your own version of healthy, your own voice, and your own way forward. Progress isn’t perfect. it’s personal.

You belong here.

xo, Lisa 💜
