:.Hey x3My name is Emily and blah blah blah.
:.I have a lot of personal, family, and friend issues of my own so a lot of times, I can probably relate to you a lot of times if you have personal, family, and/or friend issues.
:.I can offer a lot of information, help, and advice on family and friend relationships, love lives, depression, stretching/flexibility, weight loss, violin, being organized, dog training, forensics (public speaking), keeping up with school/extracurricular activities, eating disorders, writing (stories and poems), and probably a lot of other random stuff like what to drink when you eat something spicy and why.
:.Although I can help a lot of you guys on the above subjects, I don't tend to take my own advice so it can become quite an awkward/ironic/contradicting situation for me or make myself sound like a complete and utter hypocrite.
:.Hannah Whitall Smith once said, "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." I agree 100% of it. Advice is advice and it is given when asked for. I give it and I leave it at that. It's up to the questioner/advice seeker to take it.
:.That point leads onto my philosophies in advice giving:
1. Advice is given when asked and no time else, unless your friend is about to irritate a black bear, then you should definitely advice your friend to back away and run for his or her life.
2. Advice is not critical, not judgmental, and definitely not biased. Advice is advice and should remain neutral.
3. Advice is to help, not to get 5s on every answer. As a result, my advice ends up being quite blunt and frank with a hint of rambling mixed in.
If you have general questions on the topics I can be a lot of help in (as listed above), most likely, they will be in my FORUM
If it is not, you can inbox me to request me to put it up.
:.If you want to ask me a question directly...
a)if it is not urgent and can wait a week or so, inbox me.
b)if it is an urgent question such as "I'm being eaten by a shark! What do I do???" first of all, I'm quite amazed that you can type while being eaten and second of all, e-mail me at cancel.life@gmail.com. I will answer you by midnight of that day (or if it's 11:55PM, probably by 3PM the following day).
advice
As of Today, I'm becoming a vegetarian. So far its been good. The only problem I will probably is the fact that I've been so used to eating chicken and turkey. Everyday at Lunch, I would normally eat a wrap with Turkey in it. and then sometimes I would get a healthy choice or lean cousine, and that would ALWAYS have some sort of meat in it. wither its meat sauce, chicken, etc.
What kind of foods can I eat instead of what i normally eat? What foods have enough protein? I'm also trying to loose weight, if that helps. but its not the reason i'm becoming vegetarian.
Oh, I'm 16/f. if that helps.
Sorry if that was long. and Thank you in advance.
I'm a vegetarian so I can help =]
Milk, yogurt, whole grain, soy products, protein bars--they have a pretty good amount of protein in there. And the good thing is that most, you can get at school.
The hard thing about becoming a vegetarian is that since you'r so used to eating meat, your body gets hungry easily without the meat in there all of a sudden. Then it causes you to choose the wrong food and over indulge. So watch out and stay alert so you don't eat unhealthy food. So eat hardy things like whole wheat, 7 grain breads, lots of veggies, etc.
Packing your own lunch will help the most. Ask your mom to buy you whole grain/wheat bread and make a little egg salad sandwhich, jam of some sort, etc. But watch out for peanut butter--if you're going to use it, get low fat ones, because otherwise, it would be like slapping fat on the bread. Get some veggies in there too like carrots, broccoli, etc. Eggs--boiled--have good source of protein, too. Just make sure that you take out the yolk because that's where all the cholesterol is.
Things that I enjoy eating that is absolutly meat free:
Lima beans
Boiled eggs [without the yolk]
Fat free yogurt
Fruits and veggies
Veggie Bites [it's like chicken nuggest except there's no chicken in there. My mom buys them from Food Lion so check in your area]
Cheese ravioli
Mushroom soup
Veggie brugers [Although this isn't that healthy, they are delicious. I get mine from Burger King. Ask for a veggie burger without mayo unless you prefer mayo]
Veggie patties! [Costco will have a variety of them =)]
etc.
Some things you might want to know, though:
Watch out for foods with gelatin in it! It's made from fat from animal elbows. Pop tarts frostings has gelatin and so does Jello and a lot of other foods.
READ THE INGREDIENTS! Even if you don't think any meat or some sort will be in there, there will always be foods with chicken broth and things like that mixed in.
Eat healthy foods and stay away from junk/unhealthy foods. Eat healthy foods that you know will fill you up.
Get enough protein from milk, soy products, eggs, beans, and tofu.
Allrecipes.com has millions of recipes you can get for free and many recipes are dedicated to vegetarians =)
Good luck and if you have any more questions, inbox me =) I can probably help you because I converted into a vegetarian not too long ago and we're in similar situations =)
(Rating: 5) thank you :)
