Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Changing to a veg diet made my " funk " soooo much better. I blamed the poor food on the things going on in my life. The more research I read, the more confirmed I became. Best of luck on changing those bad habits. An easy habit to make is to eat " unplugged " from phone, internet, and t.v. Also, get up and move around after eating. Even doing the dishes after dinner gets the food moving and your digestion kicks in. Or, I am trying to walk after meals (or just on my feet) for 5-10 minutes.

I never became a crazy meat eater, only eating red meat approx once a month. I've always eaten healthy fare, tofu, exotic delicious organic types. I would like to adopt an even healthier lifestyle now after about a month of feeling anxious and depressed. It's time to make some changes! I am 28, a newly wed, a new house owner, and a behavior specialist for the school system in Md. I love art, nature, music, and life! However, I have let life's crazy get the best of me this past year and i have adopted some unhealthy habits adding 15-20lbs on my frame. Prior to this phase I worked out every day, and since then, zilch. I'm on a quest to get myself back! -Chasz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Welcome! I am a recent new member and would love to chat sometime. I am in a similar situation. I am 33 and have been married for 2 years. I have been a vegetarian for 20 years. I am actually 20 pounds into my weight loss now, and I I have about 15 more to go. I count calories, and exercise for an hour 5 days a week. I truly believe that sustainable weight loss is not possible without both eating right and exercise. It's all about making a real commitment to being healthier, and being accountable for your actions. I'd like to hear more about your plans for losing your weight. Good luck! ________________________________ logic622 <shnazzy1 Tuesday, June 9, 2009 12:28:48 PM fresh face, freah veggies Hi! I'm new around here and hopefully new to veganism.
