A Year Already?!?

Wow!

I couldn't believe it when I was reading through some of my old Blogs, but it's true...Its been a whole Year (plus a few days) since I decided to give up meat and become vegetarian. So far life has been good. The most common questions I get are :
1) Why: I simply answer why not?
2) Is your Family also vegetarian: No, they re not. I don't push them to be, and I don't mind cooking meat for them...
3) Do you still eat out at restaurants?: Uh, yeah... Many restaurants have Vegetarian options, you just have to ask.
4) will you eat dishes that were cooked with meat?: Yes, I don't mind picking the steak out of a stir fry dish... or what have you...
5) What do you eat?: (by far the dumbest question I get) I eat the same things you eat, minus the meat. I'm not Vegan (anymore) so I still enjoy Eggs, Milk and my Favorite... Whipped Cream.
6) Isn't A vegetarian Lifestyle more expensive?: Yes, but its worth it.

There are many more questions, but I'll leave it at those 6.

To date I have lost 16 pounds. Mentally I feel great and I look good too. My skin has NEVER been clearer.. and My skin is tighter (ladies, you know what I mean).
