Posted Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 6:46 AM 4 years ago I gave up my vegan, spiritually active, sporty and reasonably lean self (I have always been tubby as are my parents) as I entered into a relationship with two carnivorous, pushy and yet totally adorable people who have become my family and started a bachelor degree pretty soon after that. I have been angry at them and myself that I gave up those attributes, but have felt powerless against the change. I wasn't able to get back to me alone. Well here I stand, almost 21 days after I decided to get help. - I feel more in tune with my beliefs and my connection to the big secret/god/universe/source is back and more powerful than ever - I have more energy and am able to concentrate for longer (I can really do with that) - My skin is softer and after the initial outburst of zits when I made the change I have become smooth skinned and rosey cheeked (although I spend most of my time at a desk!) - I have been able to cut back on my stomach medication (which I had completely erradicated 4 years ago - I'll get there) - my girlfriend has been thanking me for cooking for her so often (brownie points ) - I seem to have lost maybe half a dress size - I don't weigh myself, ever! - I can resist all the food adverts (cos they aren't offering vegan junk food) and it makes me feel like I am free of all this consuming and having and must having Thanks kickstart programme, thanks community, thanks me. So PCRM, what's up next?

Well, you get to show the world what it feels and looks like to have control over your own health and well-being. I am so happy for you and so hopeful for those who get to be around you. PCRM has lots of resources you should certainly consider using. We will continue this forum group. We will have future Kickstarts (one starting March 1) with some new information, some recycled. We have thousands of recipes on our websites that you can use. We have a weekly webcast you can watch called Food for Life TV. It highlights different topics as well as quick cooking demos. You can sign up for recipes of the week. You can attend classes taught by Cancer Project instructors that we have around the country. You could talk to groups about what this lifestyle has done for you and direct them to future Kickstart programs. Or lead your own Kickstart! We have lots of free resources on our website (Vegetarian Starter Kits, etc.). Gosh - anything and everything is next! Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education
