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It may be a little outdated, but it reinforces that, we are what we eat.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)!

AND, 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!

Congrats. on the lifestyle changes, Cheryl! I admire your determination and discipline.
Although I agree with you, 100% (and have started buying more organic) I haven't been able to completely give up meat. My portions have dropped drastically, (I've lost 18 pounds) but every now and then I succumb to the temptation of a BBQ'ed cheese burger, with chips. Comfort food.
I'm thinking to really commit to a program like that, I'm going to need to break down and pick up the book. (And read it of course)
Keep up the good work! You look beautiful and are always fabulous!
Love you,
Mom Teri
Cheryl! Ugh...I'm almost finished with the book and I am seriously done with meat and any kind of bird. Dairy too.
*sigh*
I'm so tired. I read for like five hours today. haha...
