Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi Tina and welcome to our group. I think that's wonderful that you're gong back to being a vegetarian. Was it your choice growing up or did your parents instill it in you? My friend's daughter is very strict about her vegetarianism. She's 6 now and my friend was vegetarian when she had her (but isn't any more) and it has stayed with her daughter. I hope my future children choose to continue being vegetarian once they get to the age where they have that choice. Again, welcome and make sure you check out our recipe files; we're bound to have some easy dishes in there! :-) Cindi Tina Hood <surmisez wrote: VEGETARIAN SLIMMING QUESTIONNAIRE Please tell us a little about yourself so we can know you a bit better: To get you started, why not tell us: * your name or nickname is Tina * where you live (continent, region or city, whatever) in Massachusetts * your age group - teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s or more (congratulations!)? will be 40 in March Also: * Are you are vegetarian (or vegan), still working at it, or still thinking about it? How long? I was brought up vegetarian. I am trying to get back to all vegetarian, and hopefully to vegan. Quite a few of my family members follow strict vegan diets. * Are you the only veggie or wannabe in your household? How many others? My husband enjoys 98% of the meals I cook. He doesn't mind going vegetarian. * Do you do the cooking or is it shared? I do most of the cooking. DH's only meal is mac'n cheese from a box with vegan hot dogs and canned vegetarian beans. WAIT! Anything else you would like to tell us? This is your Big Chance!!! I like quick, easy recipes. I like to cook but don't always have time for all the preparation. .

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Cindi, Thank you for the welcome. I've never stopped being mostly vegetarian. Over the years I've just incorporated one or two meat dishes into our diet per week or less -- usually less. Our goal is to try and become vegan. My mother is constantly preaching that dairy is really bad for us. Which I know, because anytime I eat a lot of it, my allergies and asthma are worse than normal. It was not our choice as children to become vegetarian. My mother chose that for us. She is convinced that eating meat causes cancer and a whole host of other diseases. Plus, it was cheaper to feed seven children a meatless diet. I hope to find some easy recipes, that require little to no preparation. I have a lot of recipes which I will share as time goes on -- all are in a binder and need to be typed into the computer. Thanks again for the welcome. , Cindi <cindi93069 wrote: > > Hi Tina and welcome to our group. I think that's wonderful that you're gong back to being a vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Tina ~ I hope our kids (when we have them) stick with vegetarianism as they'll start life out that way. I hear ya on having lots of recipes that need to be uploaded to the computer! I'm the same way. Cindi " Tina M. Hood " <surmisez wrote: Hi Cindi, Thank you for the welcome.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Welcome, Sissy! How lovely that you have a new granddaughter - >I'm a first-time Grandmother and I want to be healthy and fit and really have fun being a part of my granddaughter's life. and how lucky she is to have a grandmother who cares enough! That's lovely - and a great impetus to keep on a good slimming and healthy-eating regime! You say you are not yet veggie: > Still working at it, prefer vegan, this has been an on-again/off-again thing for probably five or six years or so Oh I know how that is! So do many of us. But when you finally do it, you will feel better, I promise you. We'll help with advice and recipes and moral support. Okay? Give your dear hubby a chance to make a veggie or vegan chili with beans and, if you like it, fake meat crumbles. I guarantee it's good! And many me*t-eaters can't even tell that the 'meat' is fake! LOL Take care. Chat later. Pat (Co-owner with Cindi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
