Hello Steemians! After 100 tries on writing my post I've finally made it! Get To Know Me: Can You Guess My Two Truths and One Lie?

Hello Steemians!

I cannot tell you how eager I am to embark on this journey with you all. If I’m being honest, when my husband first told me about this website I was a little skeptical. I have always been interested in sharing my thoughts with others but I’ve never actually gone through with it; UNTIL NOW! So welcome to the harmonious brain of Selena Welches.

To make things a little interesting I thought I’d kick it off with a little game. I’m going to tell you three things about myself in no particular order, but one of them will be a LIE.

Can you guess what it is?

Let's Go!

Fitness and Food are my passion

First off, who doesn’t love food? If I was locked in a room for the rest of my life and I was allowed one wish it would be to have endless amounts of FOOD, but don’t tell my husband that… Now just because I love food does not mean I was always good at eating it. Like any child I ate everything in sight. McDonalds, pizza, cookies, ice cream, hamburgers, and candy. You name it, I ate it. Going into my teen years those unhealthy foods haunted me. I struggled with my body image and fell into the narcistic thought of what society considered beautiful.

So what changed?

I stopped caring so much about what people said and decided to become a better me. I learned to incorporate my love for food into a healthier lifestyle. Now my diet is filled with loads of protein, carbs and healthy fats but you’ll learn much more about my dieting in further posts.

I love to Travel

Your girl is adventurous!

There are so so many beautiful places in this world. There is so much culture, so many people to meet, and don’t get me started on the unique and delicious foods that everyone should try. I may only be 22 but I’ve been to a place or two. I’ve traveled from the Caribbean to the pacific.

My two favorite places were Bali and Sydney. Bali is an island and province of Indonesia. It is known for its forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, beaches and coral reefs.

If I tell you its beautiful, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's largest cities. The culture and food is magnificent. Everyone is so warming and it just makes you feel like home!

I’m OBSESSED with Elephants

Did you know that Elephants have the longest pregnancy of all the animals? It takes a female 22 months from conception to give birth. How amazing is that. I’m so obsessed, that I even have an elephant tattoo on my back!

Here are some fun facts about elephants that will make you love them too:

• Elephants purr like cats do, as a means of communication.
• Elephants are the largest land animals in the world.
• Elephant feet are covered in a soft padding that help uphold their weight, prevent them from slipping, and dull any sound. Therefore elephants can walk almost silently!

Okay so we’ve come to the end!

Can you tell what my lie is?

Thank You reading my post and for the opportunity to be a part of an awesome Steemit Community! You guys are GREAT!

Years!

Nice introduction, and the photos are great.

Definitely the Elephant because I didn't see a tattoo on you back in the waterfall pic! Although it could've been covered by your hair lol

The avocado dish looks way to delicious to be a lie, and those pictures from Bali and Sydney look so authentic!

I'm sorry about the period of your life where you struggled with your body image, but I'm glad you have a better grasp of who you are and what you care about now :)
