One called &quot;Fat Sick and nearly Dead&quot; and &quot;Forks Over Knives&quot;.  I am so interested in these topics they discuss mainly introducing more plants in your diet.  I don&#039;t think I could cut out meat entirely but I would like to eat a lot less.  I know some of you do this but I would like to know more.  Anyone have any good sites or recipes they can point me to?<br />
<br />
I am not sure where to start and it is all very overwhelming.<br />

Long story short I ended up with a broken nose and some swelling in my nose and face which still has not totally subsided.  After a lot of tests and some Dr. appt it turned out to be a vasovagal episode.  I pretty much passed out because I stood up to fast.  <br />
<br />
Since then I feel like things have been different in my life.  I know that is a pretty broad comment but I have yet to put my finger on it.  I tend to have a little more anxiety then I have ever had and I feel overwhelmed quite a bit.  I have even read that some people who have head trauma go into temporary depression.  I don&#039;t feel depressed but I feel like I can&#039;t get enough done lately.  I usually tend to not start working on something because I don&#039;t have enough time to finish.  The last few days I have been trying to do a little bit at a time when I have time.<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t know what is changing in me but I feel the need to change my life a little bit.  I want to be excited about work, life and be happy with where I am.  It&#039;s been a long time since that has all come together and maybe this is a wake up call.  Perhaps this broken nose will start something new for me.<br />
<br />
Time will tell.........<br />

I am a pretty low maintenance guy and I like this keep things simple.  This was very new for me.  I usually shave 2 to 3 times per week but don&#039;t mine a little scruff in between.  <br />
<br />
Here is me before:<br />

I feel kind of naked now.  You know that feeling that you get in the spring when you don&#039;t wear a coat outside?  Like something is missing.  I did kind of like it and will probably make it a yearly thing in the winter.<br />
