Hello everyone. My name is Sandra and I wanted to introduce myself and answer a

few of the questions on the questionnaire.

 

I live on the North Shore in Massachusetts. I am in my 40's and married with

two teenage boys. I have been a lacto ovo vegetarian since I was about twelve.

I did not choose to become vegetarian for health or ethical reasons, I just

don't enjoy meat, fish or poultry.

 

I am especially interested in this group because of the " slimming " aspect. As I

am sure has already been discussed, people tend to think of vegetarians as thin,

which I am not. People have commented, " you don't look like a vegetarian " ,

which I find very offensive. But I eat more pasta, bread and cheese than I

should and sit behind a computer all day so the pounds have piled up. I am

tired of it and want to be healthy, feel good and look better.

 

If I only had myself to cook for it would be so much easier but with a husband

and two teenage boys that are all meat eaters it is difficult and so I am hoping

this group will give me some tips, recipes and the occasional pep talk I may

need.

 

I am looking forward to sharing with the group and thanks for having me.

 

Sandra
