I was trying to lose weight and I had started doing some yoga. It always seemd to connect in my head. A while later I went to the doctors, I had high blood pressure, cholestorol so I wanted to do something else about it (I disagree with taking medicine for medicine's sake and the thought of being tied to pills every day infuriated me. I don't even liek taking Tylonol, etc.). Sad part is I hate veggies! So I never switched ( thought I'd starve). Then last school year around January/ February I saw a book, You Don't Need Meat. I read it. I realized as my cat walked around the edge of the bed and wanted to play that I would never slaughter my cat or any of the dogs I ever had. The idea was absolutely REPELLENT! So.. I started ... I made it many days but was not totally committed yet. Then after reading the health issues and finding some ideas of what to eat and actually this group I switche dover fully april 18th ( I logged it in my food diary and my blog). Once I started, I lost weight, felt better, and started liking veggies (well some). Now... I'm stuck I love it! JLpurplepassion <thelilacflower wrote: I'm always curious myself.
