Why do I find it so hard to get started on this healthy way of eating? I can make the excuse that it's because I'm cooking for my omnivorous family. I suppose I don't want to have to cook a separate meal. Someone gave me an excellent suggestion to make all vegan sides and make the entree's different. Perhaps I can do that. Either way, I MUST do something now. The doctor is not saying anything about my cholesterol but it's on the high side, as is my blood pressure. My weight keeps going up. If I don't make the change now I fear my grandmother's fate will one day be my own.
