i was vegan years ago when I was a teen, and had a trim body, then gave it up and slowly, along with drinking too much beer, started packing on the pounds. Now I don't drink as much, but food is my addiction and it's crappy processed, fast food crap. I am 40 and feeling 80, obese, and it's time to turn about. I am wondering if there are others on these boards who are going through the same thing, and want to form a group or something to share thoughts, and struggles. I am starting a detox tomorrow for a day, not a full fast but tea and juice, and then Monday going vegan. I am the kind of person that I need to do it cold turkey (or tofurky) as it were...
