Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hi, everyone! My name is Estelle, and I joined this group today. I'm 50 years old, and I live in Texas with my husband, one dog and three cats. I've been vegetarian off and on since 1993. Although I do sometimes eat meat, I'd much rather pursue a healthier lifestyle by going vegetarain or perhaps even vegan. I also need to lose a substantial amount of weight. I have a few health issues of concern as well. One is high blood pressure which is currently under control thanks to prescription medication. I also was diagnosed non-Hodgkins lymphoma in December 2002. I've since had radiation treatments and the cancer is GONE. I want to ensure that it stays gone by becoming as healthy as I possibly can be. I'm also a veteran educator - high school English - and am finishing my 28th year of teaching. I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning from you. Love & Light, Estelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
