Hello everyone,<br><br><br><br>
Newbie here from NOVA, new to veganism (is that a word?) as well. I actually just started Friday night at work. I've been thinking about it, knowing it's what I wanted to do, it just seemed like it would be so hard. I did have milk on my cereal today because I hadn't gone to the store yet.<br><br><br><br>
I'm sure I will have lots of questions and will annoy you all greatly. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> I just hope you can be patient with me!<br><br><br><br>
Nice to meet you all.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/hi.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":hi:"><br><br><br><br>

Thank you all so much for the welcome! It's good to know there are other "weirdos" like me, even in my area! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>

Welcome to VB! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/hi.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":hi:"><br><br><br><br>
Wow, a VERY new vegan! Congrats on making the switch! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":up:"> I recommend you check out the Tip of the Day Thread at the top of the New to Vegetarianism forum. It has lots of good dietary information for newbies and oldbies alike. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/yes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":yes:"><br><br><br><br>
And I like rice milk on my cereal. If you have access to a health/natural food store, you don't have to stick with just soymilk if you find you don't like it. You can try different kinds of plant milks (whatever they have; usually rice and almond milks) and see which you like the most.<br><br><br><br>
Sorry, that was a <i>little</i> biased. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/blush.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> Oh, well, welcome again to VB!
