First of all, Karen your help and advice is nothing short of amazing! Thank you for all you do!

I have played the weight yo-yo game yet once again and have now settled on an organic diet as much as possible. I found eliminating as many chemicals as possible from my diet has been the key for me. However, anything organic is hard to find and sometimes as much as triple the price of regular food. Meat is seemingly impossible to locate (without special ordering, shipping, etc). And when I now eat any kind of meat with growth hormones or antibiotics, I am sick. My body really revolts and begins throwing it off any and every way it knows how!

So, I have become vegetarian (mostly) by default. This thread is most appreciated and the support most welcomed.
