That summer, I gave up anything refined: white sugar, white flour, etc. At the beginning of 1996, I actually gave up dairy before giving up fish. I gave up fish at the start of the summer of '96.
I have a strong will and I probably could have given it all up at once --or maybe not, since I went about it the way I did. I was one heck of a cheese connoisseur and was a shellfish-loving fiend so, I suppose, that is why those were the last things to go.
I wish you continued success and joy along your veggie way!

Thanks, SierraNevadaStar! I'm still going strong and have lost nearly 7 pounds in the past two weeks which is a welcome thing - I guess I'd describe myself as having been a 'fat vegetarian' before. Hoping this lifestyle change will help reverse that!
