Welcome!

I'm Virginia Willis, a French-trained Southern chef and James Beard award-winning cookbook author.

As a post-menopausal woman, I lost 65 pounds and have kept it off for 4 years. Good and Good For You Living is my real-life approach to health and wellness initiated by lifelong struggles with weight and body image. I quit dieting and changed my life.

Each Good and Good for You newsletter shares encouragement and support to help you thrive with real-life information, motivation, and tactics that work. 

If I can do it, you can, too!
