Questionnaire for new members ~ Kathy

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy and welcome to our group!

 

Sounds like you've got a busy household!

 

Congrats on quitting smoking but sorry to hear about the weight gain that went

along with it. I too quit smoking about 5 years ago after smoking for 16 years.

 

Do you end up cooking meat-based meals for the others in your house often?

That's very nice and I imagine hard for you ~ I'm not sure I could do it

although we do feed our animals a raw based diet ~ but that's much different in

my mind! My partner is also vegetarian.

 

You've found the right group for support in slimming down and we have a lot of

great low-fat and delicious recipes in our files.

VEGETARIAN SLIMMING QUESTIONNAIRE

 

Hi all. New to the group. My name is Kathy and I live in NW Pennsylvania.

I am 52, soon to be 53, 2 children, 2 grandchildren, 1 husband, 1 elderly

father living with us, 3 dogs and 3 cats. I am and have been vegetarian for

7 years. I have been seriously thinking of going vegan, just haven't gotten

there yet. Everyone else in my house, my extended family and I think the

whole county eats meat! I have met 1 vegetarian home health nurse who was

here for my father and shared tofu (egg) salad with her! It was exciting to

meet another! I usually do all the cooking, including the meat for the

others. Sometimes my husband will do some of the cooking for he and my

father. I do medical transcription from home along with caring for my dad.

 

When I became vegetarian I also quit my 2 pack a day smoking habit and

gained 50 pounds..........so I need the slimming ideas from the group also.

Thanks and it's nice to be here.
