So you wanna be a healthy badass??
You wanna drink your beer, eat fucking amazing food AND not gain a million pounds?
You’ve come to the right place!
WTF is NY Foodgasm?
NY Foodgasm is really me: The adventures of Sophia Del Gigante who lives a life obsessed with food and craft beer while trying to maintain a 73 pound weight loss.
I’m a walking contradiction that thinks in black and white. A beautiful craft beer swilling, bacon loving disaster trying to burn off the beer I just drank.
You may be wondering…
How in the hell do I do this?!
How in the hell can YOU do this?
Well that’s the reason I started NY Foodgasm. At first it was a bunch of crazy awesome light recipes I wanted to share with others while I was on my own weight loss journey ( that really never ends…). Then it evolved to encompass everything in that life…
Why Food, Beer, Fitness in one blog??
I think people need to see the whole picture from 360ยบ to see how it’s done…
How does one live a kick ass fun life, maintain a healthy weight and eat like a fucking baller?!
Been there and done that, after an entire life of being obese!!
Then my love for craft beer started growing… #thestuggleisreal
I started writing about craft beer for Edible Long Island, East End and Brooklyn as well as SheKnows.com.
So this is my little slice of the Internet pie ala mode chased with a beer and some burpees.
My Story
Ever look at a picture at yourself and just think that person is not really you? Do you watch movies and tv shows and think, I wanna be doing cool stuff on this show, not the person sitting watching it? That was me.
I was obese until I hit 30, the year I had my awakening. I like to think of it as Sophia 3.0.
I was a 265 pound bridesmaid… picture this: a room full of ladies getting prettied up and you feel like the ugliest one in the room (maybe the ugliest in the world). To top it off I was unemployed, my feet were super swollen, busting a move on the dance floor for more than 5 minutes left me winded and my dress’ alteration was botched creating a hump in the back of my dress.
I wanted to be healthier, weigh less, be able to run a mile without stopping, buy clothes at any store and fucking love myself.
I joined Weight Watchers for the second time in my life… and this time I made it happen: I lost 73 pounds and kept it off.
I failed and I tried, I failed some more and then I asked for help. Made changes and it started working. No magic, no surgery. It was all about never giving up on myself and telling the bitch in my head that I was fucking worth it.

want to lose weight while having the time of your life….
