Thanks- Fake meat questions Hi J Lyn

[Guest guest]

Keep up the good work. When I became a vegetarian over 25 yrs ago it was hard

work and no one admired me for it, LOL , it was one put down after the other.

Thes restaurants bever had much but a small dinner salad or a baked potato. I

never used meat alternatives but I find a veggie burger handy for lunch and a

tofu dog a quick snack meal. TVP is good tossed in spaghetti sauce. Now it's

easy and there are so many products and ways to cook good veggies that you will

end up loving almost all of them. Just ask and we will help here. My weakness

was always cigarettes, now that was the worst thing to change in my life, Phew!

Someone asked if I was vegan or vegetarian; vegetarian. Although some people

probably made the jump from meat eating immediately to veganism, I could not.

Although I would like to later, I know my limits and I wanted to get this

committement down first ( I have trouble with follow through at times).

 

As for the weight loss question:

I started two major life changes on the same day. I started as a vegetarian as

well as following the eat 6-meals a day plan. I thought for sure that was too

much food and it would never work. However, it has. I eat 3 meals and 3

snacks. Often the last snack I usually don't feel like eating. Doing both has

curbed my appetite for the junk food and oddly enough increased my craving for

veggies. Needless to say THAT shocked ME! I hate vegetables LOL. For example,

broccolli YUCK and Double YUCK. However, 2 weeks ago, I cooked it and mixed it

with salsa and rice. I actaully found myself picking out the brocolli to eat

FIRST! GO figure! Needless to say, I like the new eating. Although I am by no

ways thin yet, I feel lighter and less like something the cat or dog dragged in.

Write. Write like a demon on fire, til you're out of breath. WRITE! OR DIE!

Spill rivers of blood on the page. Flood tears through a heart. Send horrible

screams into infinity but WRITE! Keep writing until you've poured out your soul,

your mind, your vital organs. Speed across the keys, the page, the net, the

virutal reality that is cyberspace. Fill volumes, libraries, magazines,

newspapers, napkins, old receipts. Spill ink, crush graphite, pound plastic

keys. JUST WRITE! WRITE LIKE LIGHTENING IN A BLUE BLACK SKY.
