Default New Vegetarian

Hi everyone,
I just became a vegetarian on January 1 and it is hard for me already but I've managed.
I am coming from a background of eating McDonald's a lot etc.

I am the only vegetarian in my family and group of friends so it is tough. I am no sure if it will be permanent but for the time being I am trying to lose weight, and kick the McDonald's habit. Also a lot of meat has been less appealing to me lately.

Do any vegetarians still eat fish?

Great to see you here-we'll all have to do our best to keep you

Suddenly changing from meat eating to veg would a big shock to the system-especially if you're the only veg*n you know.

Ppl who eat fish are pescatarians, not technically vegetarian. Vegetarians eat animal products that don't require an animal to be killed (dairy, eggs and honey are okay, but not meat or meat byproducts), vegans eat only plant-based foods.

Have you read any of the stickies yet? Have you read any books yet? How are your grocery options?

Default Re: New Vegetarian

Even though I'm not vegan I have the book..
How it all Vegan.
I will likely try to find some more books at thrift store. I'm looking for things that aren't too fancy...just quick and healthy.

As far a grocery options...I pretty much have access to everything where I live and my hubby is willing to eat vegetarian about 3-4 nights a week so that helps.

I must confess...I was so stressed out today because my dd is not gaining weight.....she fell asleep in the car and so I was driving around and I had a burger...I didn't really enjoy it though.
