If you haven’t read
Skinny Bitch, I highly recommend you do. It changed my universe.
No longer will I eat pork or beef.
It may be a little outdated, but it reinforces that, we are what we eat. Plain and simple. And to be skinny, you first got to get healthy.
After reading, you may be motivated to give up meat, diet soda, dairy, cigarettes, sugars, and alcohol. But me, I’m taking baby steps. Thought I’d start by giving up pig and cow (they’re inhumanely murdered by the big farm factories), diet Dr. Pepper and some dairy. If anything, I’m going to pay closer attention to ingredients and eat more organically, then slowly refrain from chicken as well (they're so unsanitary).
It’s been 4 days, and I’m doing okay. It’s all mental right now. When I saw the pig slashing videos and stories (cows, too), I kept thinking about Lucy (she has a hair cut right now that makes her look like a little piggie). Went to Fresh & Easy, picked up some nuts and dried fruit, and am eating more greens, drinking more water… Taking it day by day with better food intake (and hopefully a better digestive system!)and am already feeling better about my life.
Here are some new sites I’ve been on. There’s even a
FREE 30-day vegetarian starter kit (which I’ve ordered)!

www.vegcooking.comAND, just saw that one of my favorite actresses, Cloris Leachman, posed for a PeTA ad! I also think she would be
PERFECT as Stephanie Plum’s Grandma Mazur (if they ever made a movie or TV show of the books)! She's probably 82 and going strong
BECAUSE she's a vegetarian!
