Josie Mai: I am an artist. Food happens to be my latest medium. I make art we get to eat! Like so many others, I’ve had a long struggle with food. Obese, all of my life. It’s a family trait. One we joke about and cry about, but at least we talk about it and try to help one another on our journeys. Three out of five of us have had gastric sleeve surgery. At a whopping 284 pounds, I decided to have the surgery when I had to ask for a seatbelt extension on an airplane. Diets had never worked, exercise was never enough; my metabolism was stubborn and set. I lost 90 pounds and kept it off for three years. Two years before the surgery I started getting serious about cooking at home. Now I cook every day, and I’m learning more about food, nutrition, tastes and portions. Since I’m an artist and teacher, I have a need to share my beautiful and delicious food with family and friends. I am obsessed. I want others to experience the health, joy, creativity and deliciousness of great food. A wonderful influence, Michael Pollan, who says “Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much” (Food Rules). Let me feed you. Bon appetit!
