Jumping back a bit:
*"Dawg is curious to know if you liked the soup he made for you*
Is vegetarianism due some credit for your becoming ex-fat, instead of not ex-fat.
I eat meat, but honestly, I can't eat nearly as much as I used to. I find it hard to digest if I eat more than about ten per cent meat in my diet. Plus, I'm losing weight and I don't want anything that is supposed to "stick to my ribs". I was kind of heavy last year, but better, now. I miss the salt in meat, but I just can't eat it as much, anymore.
I really don't want inner soul stuff. I'm mainly curious if it has been a long time or is it a newer arrangement, like, since you got out on your own and took charge or have you always been veggie at heart?
I've been a vegetairan for two or three years, I think. I forget, exactly. It's not the reason for my being ex-fat, Wieght Watchers is, but the veggie diet probably helps.
I might add that I am not and have no indention of being a vegan, so I do eat milk and egg products. I don't really like vegetables. In fact, I don't eat vegetables on a regular basis. Currently I'm living very largely on weight watcher bagels (high protein, high fiber, as well as carbalicious) and apples. When I go out to eat I have salad and put insane amounts of cheese on it. Lettuce doesn't taste great in and of itself but if you dump enough parmesan on it it tastes like pasta (if you haven't had pasta in months).
Sorry, but you are not sounding very psychotic, right now ... rather well grounded and intelligent, actually.
psychotic?
Yes. In another thread you mentioned to Scr'eap that you were not going for cute, like he was, but psychotic with your new avatar. I remember many things that are not addressed to me. Sorry, I usually make people uncomfortable remembering insignificant things. My picture memory is not by any means photographic ... more like something done by a caffiened Van Gogh swinging by his foot with forced perspectives, contrasting colors partially mixed, missed interpretations, with a twist of Pollock in his wrist action and some inkblot analysis throw in at odd times, but some shit just sticks.
I did not mean that vegetarian thinking was psychotic. I have involuntarily moved in the veggie direction myself, although that does not support the defense against psychosis. I only wish they tasted as rich as they look, to me. Your approach seems very sane.
