A few businesses out there let us discover the family members we might need to be aware of; two of the most popular companies are Ancestry (also AncestryDNA) and 23andMe. They focus on finding our roots in our DNA, where our ancestry originated, what ethnicities we have, and getting help with our family tree. They would suggest or hint that someone might be my relative, so they added them to my family tree to let me know how they relate to me. Both of them have a tool that helps us find out where our ancestry root is and what we are in term of ethnicity.

But here is my diet journey, which was not easy! The Journey This wasn’t my first diet journey. I went on a diet a few years ago, which was in 2013, and at that time, before I went on a diet, I weighed around 160, then started losing to 94. At that time, my goal was 80, and I didn’t accomplish it…
