Arizona Vege

hi Im new to this site, it is awesome! I want to loss 20#. I do yoga faithfully, but not rigorously enough often enough to stay slim. Also Iv pickup a lot of bad eating habits over the last 6 months. I recently became totall vege a few months ago, with minor slips. I used to be mostly vege but no red meat. I know that my weight gain has been due to sugar sugar sugar. I started out not eating meat to lose weight, but found if I eat too much junk im gonna get fat anyhow. Now Im still not eating meat because I dont think its a morally ethica thing to do, for the environment. Dont get me wrong, Im not a bunny hugger, I just think America eats waaay too much meat, and its horrible for our heath and the environment. Also Im thinking of giving up cheese and butter because the dair industry is aweful too. I think animals should have the right to roam and forage for themselves before becoming our dinner, and not spend thier lifetime in a pen/cage to provide us protien. Yes Im sure that the current system is more economocy efficient, but Im boycotting it cause I dont think its right. Especially with all the poorer peoples in the world who dont have enough to eat and really do need that protein. Anyhow I havent figured out how Im going to save the world obviously, I just wanna lose weight and Im here becaue Im not sure Im getting proper nutrition. I think I eat way to much carbs and not enough protein, but I sure get my fiber!:laugh:

Thanks for the welcome. Im going to look into that dvd. I do the 1/2 hr yoga programs on PBS in the morning, and I do a class once a week. Wish I could do more. Im insired by your profile to try bellydancing!:flowerforyou:
