Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi everyone... I've been a veggie for a little over a month. At first, my family/friends thought " this is just a stupid phase " but after the first couple of weeks they were like hey...she might just be serious about this! I used to still eat fish but I will NEVER eat it again. Tonight I went to my best friend's house, and she was cleaning two fish she caught this afternoon. I was freaked out when their gills and mouth were still moving after she chopped their heads off...it was horrid!! She begged me for an hour to eat it but I adamantly refused!!! I am making the transition to vegan soon. I shop at www.veganessentials.com and got several great grocery things at decent prices, like non-dairy thousand island dressing. They also have a very delicious veggie jerky for sale there! Can't think of the name of it right off but it's great! I also got some Newman's Own vegan mint Oreo-like cookies. Mmmm... I have lost several pounds this month b/c of cutting out greasy, fat-filled meat. A friend told me I would not lose weight being a veggie b/c you must eat eat to lose weight. ??????? My favorite meat replacement is the Gardenburger Portabella veggie burgers...they are deelish!!! Has anyone else tried them? I buy them at Wal-Mart frozen section, where the MorningStar Farms stuff is. I am a lurker extraordinaire, but I LOVE this group!!!
