Hard Road

Well, it's been a year since my last entry and let me just say this has been a journey. I still don't eat pork, beef, chicken, turkey or duck. However, I still can't stop eating fish. It's been harder then I thought it would be. The Crab Feast didn't help my journey or the Friday night ritual of picking up a dozen crabs with mom. I don't eat it as often, but it's still a part of my diet. I want to at least give up scavengers by the end of the year. After all they are just as nasty as eating a pig. They eat off the bottom of the ocean or whatever water way they come from. So, no tilapia, no crabs and no shrimp by the end of the year. I was told by a vegetarian that it's baby steps. Some people can't do it all at once. She said to take your time and you will get there. I truly believe that. It's not about how long it takes you to get there. It's just about getting there. Now, where is there? There is in a healthy place with wonderful fruits and vegetables. There is 50 pounds lighter. There is frequent exercise and not every now and then. I am making a choice to be better to myself and to think more often of the things I eat and do. I've found new items to cook with. Vegetarian Chili and Spaghetti were discovered earlier this year. I will share them the next time I cook. They will put any beef or turkey dish to shame. LOL. Well, this is my new dedication to this page. I hope I can help someone on their journey as several are helping me!!!
