Hey everyone.  I'm Li.  I was doing some article searching and came across this website.  Lot's of stuff here and I love it!  Anyhow, years ago I was a vegetarian for six years and after I had my daughter and was breastfeeding her my doctor recommended that I resume eating meat again after becoming ill.  So I did. Of course I later realized it had nothing to do with not eating meat.  I just wasn't taking proper care of myself.  Well jump ahead 9 years...a month ago I had to give up dairy because I'm breastfeeding my recently born son and he seemed to have a sensitivity to the dairy I was consuming.  I had been reaserching veganism for a while and since I was all ready part way there and was ready to make some changes and get healthy, a week ago I dove right in! So far I'm loving it.  My husband is joining me in this (he is doing well so far, but I think it's hard for him to adjust) and my 9 year old  has decided she wants to be a semi-vegan...if I can call it that.  As for my little one, depending how well everything is going, we will probably raise him vegan as well.

I would appreciate any support (going vegan seems to get one a lot of lectures), tips, advice that anyone can give me.  Thanks everyone!  I'm so glad I found this site!
