Being a convenient vegan
Being a vegan is not something you just do. It is a lifestyle change and must be a decision that you can't take lightly. I tried veganism because I wanted to lose weight. I do a 90 day cleanse and lost 30lbs!!! Yes!!!.....only to gain it back again because I started eating badly again. Not just because I added meat back into my diet, but because I ate badly. Too much sugary foods, fried foods.... Bad stuff that tasted good....and I looove French fries!! But I am going to be 40 in two weeks...and I want to live. If I keep eating this way I think that I am going to die. I am not ready to die. I have decided to try convenient veganism again. What is convenient veganism you ask. Well, I will not eat meat. Simple. But if there is something that I want, I will not deny myself. I will not eat if I am not hungry either. But if I have not eaten meat for months and one day I see a piece of chicken I'd like to try or my daughter wants me to taste her ice cream....then I will. Simple and convenient...get it? My starting weight is 182. Yes, and I will be losing it slowly and without being hungry....because I want to live...
