Hello. I'm a newbie

Hi!
So... uh...
I watched 'Earthlings' many months ago and it left me VERY shaken, traumatised actually. Every since then I've been slowly changing my eating habits. (I'm a slow person.)
I ate some meat pizza 2 days ago (it was crap) and I decided I've had enough. I cant eat meat anymore. It makes me feel emotionly sick inside.
I've joined this forum for support into my new vegetarian lifestyle. I hope to slowly go vegan too!
I'll keep my info short...
Basicly I'm an overweight 26yr old tree hugging goth married mother of 2 that likes anime, manga, drawing, writing, video games and music.
I'm generally labeled as a weirdo. And I'm okay with that.
Hope you don't mind me joining this site.

Hi, weirdo! ;)b
If you like pizza, give Daiya a try. Most vegan cheese is a-level-of-hell disgusting, but Daiya is tasty and melts. It's somewhere around $5 for an 8-ounce bag, but well worth it.

Thank you!
The only health store in this crappy town doesn't have much of a range of products. I don't think they have that brand of vegan cheese. I will ask them if they can get it in.
I love a good tasting cheese.
:)
hello and welcome! I hope you find daiya because it is great!
and most of us are weird here!!
Welcome!!!
Most vegan cheeses suck....Daiya is one of the better ones, but I'm not gaga over it like some people.
Hello!! If you need some motivation for being a vegan/vegetarian, there are SO many great books. There are also a lot of great recipes that will leave you more than satisfied.
I hope you enjoy this site. :)
Thanks everyone!
I'm loving this site.

Feel free to pop into all the other forums as well. If you jump right in, we'll be there right along with you. Welcome!
Hi Dark_Cherry!
Welcome! It sounds like you and VegWeb are a perfect fit. We're all a bunch of truly awesome weirdos around here :)
Agreed on Daiya cheese, it's great! Iif your local stores won't carry it, you can get it from sites like VeganEssentials.com.
Have fun!!

lol Thank you!

Hope We don't mind?
psh'aw! We love new members, especially the weird ones. :D
And kudos to You for making the change! ..."Earthlings" should be traumatizing, in my opinion; it shows that You have the kind of compassion that so many humans obviously lack (or don't care to embrace), and You're willing to change Your habits as a result. And You've come to the right place. VW is definitely the best veg*n resource on the web, no matter what You're looking for.
......... also, I think You should share some more about Your interests--favourite artists, movies, music, etc.--on the boards (the "What's New, Pussycat?" board is a good start), because I'm pretty interested in what You have to say on those subjects..... What can I say? I'm a weirdo, too. :)
