Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 To get you started, why not tell us: * your name or nickname Cassie Dixon * where you live (continent, region or city, whatever) St. Petersburg, Fl and will be moving in June to Palm Coast, Fl * your age group I am 25. I turned Vegetarian in November on 2007 (perfect timing for the traditional holidays LOL) I have a mental block that I cannot complete the transition to becoming a complete vegan, although there are many days that I have a completely vegan diet/lifestyle. I have a 21 m.o. daughter and am about 8 lbs away from pre-baby weight. I transitioned to vegetarianism for mental clarity, and have found my wiastline continuing to shrink! I love it, and am glad to have this lifestyle to show my daughter. My husband has been very understanding and flexible eating what I am cooking. He travels much for work, and gets his meat at restaurants. I will not buy it or cook it in the house. My bil always brings over pepperoni and sausage pizza, and my daughter LOVES pizza, so that is always a challenge (for both of us, as I LOVE pizza, too.) I am excited to join and get some health tips (besides EXERCISE) and recipes. I just read Skinny Bitch and would love to talk about it with people as well. Thanks for having me on the board and I look forward to " meeting " you. Cassie Never miss a thing. Make your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi Cassie, We used to live near Palm Coast, dh worked there. Tell my about the book skinny bitch, seems I vaguely remember seeing/hearing something about it. OH welcome to the group. I am des, a veggie, gave up my dairy and eggs 3 weeks ago. However the extreme tired with the afternoon told me I was not getting enough protien so I am eating egg white again, just 3 really helped. ANYWAY, we are in the Pac. NW now.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Welcome, Cassie! I've never been to St Pete's but I used to know a bunch of wonderful people from there! It's a long way from where I live in Canada So ---- three months a veggie? Fantastic, woman! Congratulations on a great change in your life - and when I think of your daughter I have to know (as you do) that it is SO important. Good for you! I have read _Skinny Bitch_ and thought it a very good approach to weight loss. Some things work for some people, some don't. If you like having your butt kicked like that (and some of us need it, let's be honest), the book is well worth a serious read. I got my copy from my local library, since I didn't need to buy another such book (I've reached my weight goal - yay!!!!). Anyone interested should have a look there first - because I doubt if it's available in second-hand bookshops, right? People here are keen on health as well as weight loss - and although many of us are veg or vegan for the animals, we don't mind the fact that it makes us feel so much better too!!! LOL Everyone wins. We look forward to hearing more from you. Don't be shy! Just chime in whenever you like. There's always someone around to read and answer Best, Pat (Group Co-owner with Cindi) ---- BeanVegan Food Blog: http://beanvegan.blogspot.com Raw Vegan: http://www.care2.com/c2crAw_vEgAn Vegetarian Spice: Vegan World Cuisine: http://www.care2.com/c2cvegworld Vegetarian Slimming: vegetarianslimming Vegetarians In Canada: vegetariansincanada How Far Would You Go For . . .: http://www.care2.comlocallife Fruitarian: http://www.care2.comfruitarian Antispeciesism: http://www.care2.comantispecisism " Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.
