[QUOTE="Lil, post: 744491, member: 17309"] There was a vegan restaurant here for a year or two. I heard there food was good, but the only thing I ever tried was their broccoli "cheese" soup. Nasty!!! I'm sorry, but vegan cheese - is not cheese. Cheese is made with milk. I'm not saying you can't cook without animal products. There are a lot of nice Vegan choices - just not cheese. Vegans tend to be a bit too extreme for me with the whole, no leather, no animal products of any kind, thing. Vegetarian, fine. I have had an ovo-lacto (Is that right?) vegetarian tell me they just made it a rule not to eat anything that had a face. lol Personally, I feel like nature made us omnivores for a reason and we're at the top of the food chain, so that's that. Probably a side effect of having been raised on a farm. I don't like that some animals are treated cruelly while alive, but that's pretty much where I draw the line. :) See, this is my problem. I find that I can only lose weight if I obsess over it. I once lost 100 lbs. I regained 80 after a few years because my brain said, "You're Done!!!" and I stopped obsessing. It took me two years to lose that weight and it was two years of constantly thinking about food. What I ate - how many calories/ fat/ fiber did it have? Did it fit in my meal plan? What I was going to eat next? When was I going to eat next? Did I need a snack before then? How many calories, etc., would that take up? What would I eat this weekend that maybe I needed to save WW points up for, and on and on. It was [I]exhausting[/I]! When I hit that 100 I was just SO TIRED of thinking of food. But when I stopped obsessing...the weight started coming back. :( [/QUOTE]
