Before After

7 day vegan

Yes, you read it right, that is IF you read it at all. I am a vegan.

After reading the ultrametabolism diet book, that coupled with Skinny B., oh yeah, this body had no other choice then to follow the mind, and the mind said, NO MORE! No more aspartame, sorbitol, hydrogenated this or the other. No more dairy, no more animal flesh, no more toxic chemicals polluting this body that is SUPPOSED to be my temple.

My friends already thought I lost my mind, but, I say, no more white flour masquerading as whole wheat, no more pesticides, insecticides, causing my slow and purposeful homicide.

Skinny B. put it all into perspective for me, and I am saying, NO to animal cruelty, NO to the FDA's approval to consume things that are aging us by the second and killing more of us every year.

Now this may sound a bit hypocritical, however, I am only a 7 day vegan so far, so you'll have to pardon my being unable to give up my favorite leather coach bag, I plan to, believe me I would today if it would bring the animal that gave its life to make the bag back, I would today, this very moment IF it would make the littlest of differences.

I would, I really, would .

GoVeg!

Going Vegan...

Well, I suppose as long as you don't eat the bag, and the animal is dead anyway, you're still a vegan...

You could always will it to me if it makes you feel THAT guilty, though!  lol

Good luck with your new-found convictions! 

Congrats!

I'm proud of you for making such a healthy choice for yourself. It's also a difficult and challenging choice. Eating's about to get a lot more complicated. I think it's worth it, though. My MIL is vegan and eating out with her is a nightmare--she goes to a regular restaurant (non-vegetarian), then demands they make vegan food for her. There's always a little drama involved and the staff hops around trying to meet her demands. Tawa Chihuahua says she just doesn't eat out much at all.

So, how has your second week gone?
