laur318 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi. I am a new mom of a 6 month old boy who is my world. I am married to his loving father and we are back in the wing of the gym routine, finally. I was raised in a poor family as a "vegetarian", I consider it a fake term used too loosely, because I was raised to never eat red meat, but I ate chicken, turkey, fish, dairy, eggs, etc. At 8, I decided vegetarianism wouldn't be so hard, I'd just skip the meat portion of school lunches. My mom threatened that I would have to cook for myself, and I did it, still eating fish for a few months before eradicating it from my diet. A year after that I decided that animal products such as chicken flavoring, leather and gelatin all had no part in my life either. And here I am at 21 years old, training my body and raising a child who deserves better than dairy. He deserves his mom to provide healthy *alternatives*, not just a diet lacking. I am 3 days egg and dairy free.I feel great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan Joe Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I don't remember, but at age 8 I probably had little concept that milik came from an utter, or where else much of my food came from. CT? Oh Yeah, That's that place on the otherside of the Long Island Sound. Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnb222 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Welcome to the forum! It's great to hear that you have gone vegan. Dairy, eggs, and meat are totally unecessary. All they do is slow and boggle you down. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
