ABOUT ME

I was born in a traditional Lebanese family where everything rotated around food; Christmas dinners, Sunday lunches, and everyday home cooking. My relationship with food was always a love/hate relationship. I loved food but it always caused me discomfort and pain. In my childhood years, I was always anaemic and the doctors would tell my mom to give me iron supplements, and to feed me spinach and red meat. My teenage years were years of migraines and joint pain. The doctors would attribute that to “part of growing up”. I got married in 1987; I was 22 years old; I had my son one year later. In 1992 when I was pregnant with my daughter, my OBGYN said that I would need blood transfusion during delivery because of my severe anaemia. I was sick throughout my pregnancy and I was very weak. Luckily, I had a healthy baby girl, but I lost all my energy after giving birth.
