Thank you! I'm also on a weight loss plan, and recently joined Curves to

get some motivation going! It's fun. I'm also working on getting rid of

Seasonal Affective Disorder this year, so got one of those Light Boxes at long

last, and wow, it is working great! I just use it for thirty minutes in the

morning while I do my email. I am getting more energy by the day, and also

sleeping better at night. I've loved holistic healing for a long time, and

work

with herbs and nutrition to heal myself whenever possible. It's always

amazing to me how a few simple changes can fix things that drugs just seem to

compound instead. I have a horrid history of allergies and reactions to

medications, so am trying life without them.

 

I've also found, since getting my dog seven years ago, that I just don't

want to eat animals. It really turns me off. Because I'm so close to him,

that

I think we read each others minds sometimes. And that makes me think a lot

differently about animals in general.

 

 

<<<Many of us have to adapt to various dietary restrictions for health or

other reasons and I am always amazed at how inventive people can be in coming

up with delicious recipes to suit their personal requirements. My husband can

not eat any processed grain products. Here in the Netherlands we can't get

whole wheat tortillas but I have often toyed with the idea of making my own as

we love Mexican food. Your recipe has given me a great incentive to have a go

at making whole grain tortillas. Thank you for sharing it.

 

Cheers from Marie>>>

 

I think that's a great idea! I've known southwestern women who have talked

about making their own, and how much more delicious they are than the store

bought ones. Though I'm really happy since they came out with whole grain

ones here, so probably won't try that, just due to time constraints. I would

love to find a mild salsa with NO tomatoes, or a recipe for one. When I find

the fruit ones, they also have tomatoes in them. Tomatoes suddenly started

making me feel as if my whole body was full of acid, and I felt as if I'd been

poisoned, and it was awful! If I hadn't dreamed repeatedly of throwing

tomatoes on the compost heap or into the trash, I wouldn't have guessed what

was

doing it either! Dreams are amazing sources of pointing us in the right

direction for healing. I think of tomatoes as so healthy, but not if they're

hurting you, they're not!

 

 

Love & Light, Barbara

Hi Barbara,

 

Welcome to the group.

 

It's very interesting to know the reasons that people choose to adopt a

vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. You, more than many, have the advantage of

knowing a few tricks of the trade before you start. Best of luck with your new

way of eating.

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm Barbara, and I'm from Connecticut. I've just recently gotten back on a

vegetarian diet after taking a year back into meat eating, and finding my

joints and muscles extremely unhappy about that choice! The acid buildup from

digesting meat had me in constant pain. I had been a vegetarian before that

for about two and a half years though, so I know what I'm doing this time

around,
