Hi all.

 

I'm Sherrie, 39, married w/2 kids and 2 dogs, and the sole veggie in

my home. They family will eat meals that aren't meat-based, but hubby

& (step)son will raid the fridge later because they need protein.

Gah. I was vegetarian during my pregnancy with my daughter, went back

to meat, then went veg again after taking the Toronto Vegetarian

Society's veg pledge over a year ago.

 

I was over 250 at my heaviest & wore a 24/26. I'm in an 18/20 now and

at 225. I'm following Weight Watchers at home, but have found ways to

cheat without cheating. I get the right number of points, but eat like

crap.

 

I'm the main cook and love it. I collect cookbooks and love food

blogs, so I'm always finding inspiration for good things to eat. I

just tend to favor desserts and rich foods over lighter ones. That

wasn't always the case. It seems I'm having a harder time getting

back to the basics.

 

I think I've covered everything in this intro. :-) I'm going to grab

a cup of coffee and get to work. BTW I'm in a distance grad school

program and work from home. That has a little to do with my lack of

focus when it comes to food lately. I'm a stress eater and the school

stress is mega high right now.

 

Sigh, Monday.
