Hi, I am new to this forum. I have been reading for a little while now but had trouble getting registered! Thanks to Carol for taking care of that. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I have not eaten meat or dairy for almost a month now, but did not find Dr. McDougall's website until about three weeks ago and I am SO glad I did! I have already felt encouraged by the people on here and also had help discovering good recipes and helpful tips for this way of life.
I little about me...I am a homeschooling mom. I have 5 wonderful kids, the oldest in her first year of college and the youngest will begin kindergarten next fall. I enjoy carting my kids around to all their sporting events and I sponsor the cheerleaders and the yearbook. I have had a yo-yo weight since college days, always around 25 lbs heavy until the last couple of years when I ballooned to around 60 lbs overweight.
I have begun to have some health issues, which is what brought me to read The China Study and that initiated my getting rid of meat and dairy. The author mentioned Dr. McDougall and I decided to check out the website and that is how I arrived here. I have been faithful so far to stick to it even while we were on vacation and around foods that would normally trigger me to eat.
Sorry for the novel, but I am so happy to finally be on here and I can't wait to learn from all of you!
