BLargh. Come ON!
I'm kind of inbetween houses right now... moving in with my boyfriend and his family and moving away from my family. It's so difficult and causing me to have serious binging problems. It doesn't help that all of my boyfriend's family is as skinny as a rail, and they love fried southern food. So the weight has piled on and I am now up to 225. Ugh! I've decided though... that since I used to be vegan, I want to go back to that lifestyle, so I'm starting out vegetarian right now. It's easier to maintain, and will deffinately help me get in more fruits and vegetables.
I found a wonderful book called Vegetarian and it's written by Barnes and Nobles. It has all of the different fruits and vegetables and grains and rice and milk and cheeses in it... and it tells you what it is and what kinds of health benefits it has. Then it has a bunch of recipes that are all vegetarian and could easily be made into vegan. Plus... all of the recipes have pictures, which I really love. Pretty much all of the recipes are simple and don't have any outrageous ingredients in them.
So, I'm starting again, at 225. Wish me luck you guys... I'm sure going to need it.
