Questionnaire/Intro ~ Marian

[Guest guest]

Hi Marian ~

Welcome! I bet that eating healthy due to time and money constraints is a

challenge.

I had very limited cooking experience when my partner and I moved in together

but I came to enjoy it very much once I jumped right in and started

experimenting with new recipes and foods.

What I would suggest is finding recipes that keep well and when you have the

time, dedicate a small portion of a day to prepping healthy meals for those

times when you don't have the time.

Do you have any farmers markets near you? They are great ways to stock up on

healthy items relatively cheap.

 

Again, welcome!

Hi! I am a new member here. My name is Marian and I am Junior at a

small university in east Texas (English major, Music Theory minor). I

am currently enjoying my last year as a teenager.

 

I have been a practicing vegetarian since spring break of my freshman

year (a little over one year, 7 months), and of course I love it. I

share my dorm suite with two wonderful roommates who are happy

meat-eaters (I only know of one or two other vegetarian students on

campus, and a handful of faculty). For the most part, we do our own

cooking (or eat out), but occasionally we have group suppers. If I

cook, I make a vegetarian meal, and when they cook, they are usually

very polite about providing a meat-free alternative. The cafeteria

also provides a vegetarian dish during lunch and dinner for the

handful of us who are brave enough to try it.

 

Eating is, of course, a big issue for me. Being a college student (and

waist-deep in the hardest semester of my life), I don't always have

the time or the money to watch my diet and exercise. I also have very

limited cooking experience. However, I sincerely try to eat right and

lose (or at least maintain) weight. All support and tips are welcome.

 

Thanks,

Marian
