Conversion
I’ve been ovo-lacto for the past 10+ years, but that doesn’t mean I’ve had healthy eating habits. Through a combination of unhealthy food, thyroid problems, medication, et al I gained more weight than I’m comfortable with and instead of a quick fix diet, I want to reformat my way of eating.
So the other day I was flipping through a vegan cookbook and asked my husband, “Why do we eat animal products? We love animals.” and that really just got us thinking and pumped about removing animal products from our diet and our lives.
It’s been 5 days since we have eaten a vegan diet and haven’t caved in although I was close at Pizza Luce because I had tried some chedder soy cheese that I had bought earlier and gagged. But I had the vegan bruchetta there and it was awesome! My other favourite vegan thing that I’ve eaten so far is a chocolate raspberry cupcake with creamy topping that tasted like cream cheese, but Jeremy didn’t like them. I have to get that recipe from the Wedge. Jeremy said he was having cravings today for bacon but he was an omni before so I guess that is understandable.
