Thank you so much, Lori. It just made me feel good to vent and to read your response. NOW WHERE IS THAT RUBBER CHICKEN? Seriously, I did express my feelings to him earlier, and I think my husband will "come around" as I continue to improve physically - it's just a little hard for him to give up his VERY INGRAINED nutritional beliefs.

I mean, we happen to SHARE many of those beliefs and it's a little rough for me - mostly ethically - going back to eating ANY meat when my diet had been mostly vegetarian and fish for so long. As I attain my goal, I will probably taper off on the meats but for now I need the protein and the variety. Thank you again -
