Vegetarian Vegetarian to vegan? Nov 13 2008

Original Post by weiing:

I am currently vegetarian (no eggs, milk, diary products EXCEPT cheese *sigh*)... because well, like many vegetarians wanting to be vegan, cheese is hard... and it's hard to find a decent cheese replacement. 

 My best friend and I were vegan for awhile and we found a great cheese substitute.  It is Tofutti sliced cheese.  It comes in mozarella and american flavors.  They don't taste all that great on their own, but if you eat it on a sandwich or what not, it taste pretty good.

If I get really stressed out my eye will twitch also.  You could be stressed.  If you are not stressing out then I would say every few hours try to look away from your computer screen.  Go take a walk around the office for a minute or whatever you can do to stop staring at the screen.  That may help.

This is just sad. I also do not understand how she isn't being arrested for this.  This, to me, sounds like prosititution and it's illegal, so why is she still able to do this?  I think it's rediculous.

Sorry to hear you are having a rough day today.  But I wouldn't worry to much about it.   You do seem to have everything under control and you're not beating youself up over this incident.  Just stick to your goals and you'll do wonderfully :-)  Hope the rest of your day goes better for you.

Victoriagirl, I totally agree with your theory.  Sodium is going to be a huge obstacle for me.  I love anything salty.  I could even add salt to chips!  Hang in there, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised with a loss soon.

sherrys1979, welcome.  I just started my diet (this time) on October 13, so we are in about the same place.  I have found CC to be a great place and very welcoming and supportive.  And I know what you mean about being under 200.  I am so going to do a happy dance in the middle of my street when I reach that! 

Thanks for the welcome.  I have found CC to be very helpful and I love this site.  And when I reach my 199 goal who knows what I'll do LOL  I might cry from happiness or start dancing around or just go crazy with excitement. :-)

I eventually will want to choose a different goal weight but right now I chose that weight goal because I can't remember a time when I was under 200 pounds!!!  If I reach 199 I will be so excited :-)  I can't wait till then so I can go shopping, yay new clothes.

Weight Loss What is your favourite part about weight loss? Oct 29 2008

I love losing weight:

when I can go to the store and buy a size smaller in clothing

because I get compliments

because I know it will make me healthier

so I can go to an amusement park and not be afraid I won't fit into the seats

because I look better

Those are just a few reasons I like to lose weight.  :-)

The Lounge ghost stories Oct 28 2008

Well I have an experience that happened to me when I was still in school that kind of freaked me out.  It's not as great as all the other stories in here.

 

When I was little I use to sleep with a stuff animal.  I had many stuffed animals so I usually has a different one each night.  Anyways, I woke up one night and turned to hug onto my teddy bear and when I looked at it, the face was all white and glowing and it looked like a human face!!!  I threw the stuffed animal and hid under the covers.  That really scared me so finally a little bit later I got the nerve and retreived the bear and it's face was back to normal.  I never slept with that bear again.

My friend one year for Halloween dressed up like the couple from that tv show, I think it's called The Bounty Hunter.  They pretty much just dressed up like "white trash", lol.  I hope that doesn't offend anyone but it's the only thing I could think to describe how they looked, sorry :-)

My first DMV pic was the worst.  My face looked all fat and swollen and the woman took forever to take the dang picture so when she finally snapped the shot I had stopped smiling so I looked like I was totally pissed off!!  My friend asked me why I was mad in this photo and I said I wasn't, lol.  I hated that picture.  I didn't want anyone to see it.  Plus I wasn't wearing any makeup so I just looked a total mess.  For my second picture I made sure I dressed up and wore makeup and it came out really well, to my surprise.  I was so glad when they took my old license, :-)

I too feel your pain!!!  I agree with compoudkid, you are counting calories so you think about food more than normally.  I plan all my meals ahead of time and I also have my snacks that I eat in between meals to tide me over.  Although there are a few times where I feel very hungry but if I keep my mind occupied, I don't usually think about eating to much.  That's the key.  When you don't have anything to do, you start to think about food, or at least I do. :-)  Hope that helps you out some.  Just try to plan ahead and keep yourself busy so you don't think about food.

 

Keep up the good work.

Vegetarian Morning Star Farms Vs. Bocca Oct 23 2008

I don't really like Boca burgers.  Their chick patties are good though.  I am more of a morningstar fan myself.  Although I too wish they could remove the egg from more of their products.  I'm not vegan but I am a very strict vegetarian and only eat eggs that are cage free organic.  I also like Qourn products as well.  They are very tasty.  They also use egg in their products but I emailed them a while ago and they are trying to change their egg use to cage free organic eggs, which makes me happy.  I am also not a fan of Boca since they are the creation of Kraft and if you call Kraft to inquire about their cheese (to find out if they use rennet) they will give you the run around.  I also don't eat cheese that contains rennet since that is the enzymes from the baby cows stomachs.  :-(
