Hey all,
I've read a few other member introductions and am excited about starting a new, healthier way of life. I am a twenty-something poet/writer/non-profit save-the-world wannabee, living in the MD/DC area where there are many wholistic communities, so that's how I learned about Alissa Cohen. I decided to pursue a healthier lifestyle really as an act of self-love. I just got tired of taking medicine for this and that and never feeling better. Gaining and losing weight over and over again, just got old ya know?
Anywho, a few weeks ago I bought Alissa's book and began to prepare gradually (bought a food processor, a spiral slicer, and finally a dehydrator, etc.). Today I went to the grocery store, loaded up my cart with fruits, veggies and other healthy "stuff." Go me! Go me! Now let's see if I can manage to actually prepare it and eat it all! :D
I look forward to bugging you guys with questions, and pleas for support :eek:, but more importantly I can't wait to lend a supportive virtual hand to fellow vegans/vegetarians in training (so to speak)!
Peace and blessings!
