Back again :)

[Guest guest]

And hopefuly this time I'll be able to hang around... if anyone even

remembers me from my brief stay before. My computer had issues and

completely died, what a bummer. Anyway now I have a new one (yay).

Shortly after my computer died I got a new job and went away for a

while for training but now I'm back and settling into a routine.

However I had a serious setback in my conversion process. While I

was away and working kinda odd hours it was soooooo easy to just

drive through McD's or Wendy's or *insert any other fast food place

here* and get a hot meal. Soooooo since it was easy I did it and now

I'm back to square one Furthermore I am still working odd hours

so dinner at Sonic has become a habit. On the nights I don't go to

sonic I get a bag of skittles out of the vending machine in the

store (I landed a job as the pet trainer at Petsmart) and while

thats not meat it probably isn't any better nutrition wise lol.

Anyway I found inspiration yesterday in a customer who brought her

pet rats into the store. Since I LOVE rats I of course went to fawn

over them and while inquiring what they were fed she mentioned that

she fed no animal products b/c she was vegan. That got us off on a

conversation on how many " pretend meats " there were out there to

make it sooooooo easy to be vegetarian and she encouraged me to put

a little effort back into my change. So here I am... again slightly

off track but looking to hop back on the wagon so to speak. Maybe

this time it will be easier since I was making so much progress in

my last attempt. Just have to " get back into it " .

Welcome back, Leia. Sorry to hear about your slide

back into meatland; especially the fast food sort.

bleh! *lol*

i hope with the encouragement and support from

this group that you can find it easier this time around

to stick with the vegetarian lifestyle.

We're here for you.
