Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hello everyone! My name is Misty and I'm 36 years old. I'm very new to the vegetarian world. Just a little over two weeks old! So far so good on sticking with it. It hasn't really been too hard except for having to make meat for my hubby and my boys. It doesn't make me want meat, at all! Even the smell of it cooking makes me queasy. Anyway....I'm really looking forward to all the yummy veggie recipes I can cook for myself and my family. They are very supportive of my decision and are willing to try some of my veggie dishes. Misty Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars. Add photos, events, holidays, whatever.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 HI Misty! Nice to meet you. I'm Bron and I'm 47 years old. I've been vegetarian for six months, did strict veganism for two, and now fluctuate between the two concepts--but try to be vegan as much as possible. However, I don't beat myself up over it anymore and that has helped me a great deal. My husband went vegetarian with me and vegan, as well as the recent fluctuation between the two. I'm very blessed and know it! to have such a sympathetic husband. :>) We both feel a ton better in our health and as a diabetic, my health has improved remarkably. I also have a daughter, my only child, who is 19 and in college in TX. Dh and I live in GA. Dd wants to go veg/vegan herself, but is hampered by the fact that she lives with unyielding meat-eaters (my parents). I keep telling her, just do the best you can until you get out on your own. Good for you to keep your resolve in the face of having to cook meat continously! I'm sure that a lot of folks here--including myself--will be glad to give you recipes and tips to keep yourself going as well as to hopefully win over your dh and boys. Congratulations, and welcome to the group! Bron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Misty, So nice to meet you. You are apx. the same age as I was when I first started introducing healthy meals to my children and husband. No it was not always easy but when you make it fun they will adjust. I started out by serving fun foods like turkey and fish. Kids love pizza, wraps, etc. I have been a Vegetarian for 20+ yrs. In the begining I was like you still cooking meat for my family. Just sneak in the Vegetarian side dishes as often as possible. So you do not feel deprived make your favorite meals often just add less and less beef, etc. and add more veggies and fruit. Don't forget deserts. They are leaverage for encouraging your children to try new recipes. Make sure they see you preparing the special deserts and use them for reward. Here's to an exciting healthy lifestyle. Smiles and hugs Deanna , Misty Rionach <mistyrionach> wrote: > > Hello everyone! My name is Misty and I'm 36 years old. I'm very new to the vegetarian world.
