I'm trying to get back into it Hi Carmen

[Guest guest]

Happy to have you back with us. Main thing is you

jumped back on the wagon, don't think to hard about

why you fell off, just move along day by day. I don't

have any advbice for you, what works for one doesn't

for the next person. I became a veg overnight and I

never looked back, I had to teach myself how to make

grains and things I'd never heard of, that had to be

close to 26 years ago. Few decent cookbooks and no

veggie burgers around.

We are all here to support you.

Hi! I'd say cutting down on meat would be the first step (like once a week) and

then

maybe use some of the meat substitutes to stand in for what meat products you

miss-

sausage or whatever.

Find some veggie basics that you love...veg lasagna, meatless chili, grain

recipes,veg

burgers etc.

I have been veg for maybe a year and a half with no slips, but when ever I am

out or at a

friend's, it remains a challenge to not give in to some meat thing that I used

to like eating,

even if it's just soup with chicken broth. If I have that, I know I'll soon be

eating bacon

again and I just don't want to : )

good luck, baby steps are good!
