Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi all, My name is Debbie and I am 35 years old....going through a bad divorce and a foster type mom to my nieces 10 and 11......I live in Alaska and have been here all my life.....I am extremely overweight and have take some drastic measures to loose it....(surgery) had to for my health.....and I am finding that it only helped a little and now need to try getting healthier as opposed to trying to loose weight....I know that if I just get myself healthy then I will loose what ever I need to loose..... I don't like the way I was feeling when I would have a meat with my meal and am trying to make the changes....I have several questions about this changing and would love any advice there is out there to help....I don't get on the computer every day ...but do try to check things out 2-3 times a week.....I would also love any web sites for help as well.... I guess I will jump right in with questions.....I am trying to make the transition away from meat and meat byproducts.....the one thing that I have found that I miss is cheese......other than that there is nothing else that I am missing.....I am supposed to eat 70-90 grams of protein a day and I am finding it hard to meat that....are there foods that are higher in protein that I can be eating more of....?....I love fresh salad and I make my own pasta.....I DO love to cook and bake as well......I have collected a lot of recipes over the years and was wondering how I would convert them...?..what Items I can use in place of the meat.....? I guess that is for now....I don't want to over do it on the questions.....thanks for any help... Debbie in Alaska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
