bhealthy Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi, Thanks for the Welcome. I'm hoping to learn and enjoy. I've been an off and on again vegetarian since I was 20 years old. I'm sad to say though that I am addicted to meat. I crave it night and day and I'm 100lbs overweight to show for it. I feel sad for the poor animals that have been mutilated to feed my fat face and I feel even sorrier for myself. I can feel my arteries clog. My diet is killing me. I'm here for a permanent change in diet and a new lease on life. Thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here for a permanent change in diet and a new lease on life. Thanks, BrianHey, Brian: Welcome! Been there, done that very much the same. I respect your decision to do it. I got to be 50 pounds overweight and it's coming off with some bike commuting, calisthentics, and a whole food vegan diet, but I still got a way to go. I mention this because I can empathize, but it's totally doable. These boards are great and the people are very encouraging and very open to answering questions in a kind way. You came to the right place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
