Craving!

I’ve been following a strict vegetarian diet for going on a month now. It actually has been really easy, and I feel great. I can only describe it as something that “fits” for me. I don’t miss eggs, dairy or meat whatsoever. This? Came as quite a shock.

I’ve lost a few pounds, nothing monumental, but more importantly - I haven’t gained any weight. No more confusion, no more roller coaster. It’s not “a diet”, as much as it is a way of making choices about food. (BTW, my skin looks better, not sure what that’s about, but I’m loving that a whole lot.) I now know that to achieve weight loss, though, I need to work out way more than I do now. And I need to lay off the fats - nuts, vegannaise, avocado, french fries - and pay more attention to calories. Hey, I made a big transition and you can’t go from eating Taco Bell to eating nothing but beans and blueberries overnight. Even in a vegan diet, calories count. And you CAN be a fat, unhealthy vegetarian, let’s bust that myth right there.

Speaking of Taco Bell, for the first time in weeks I’ve had a strong craving for something that is not vegan, and that is, TACO BELL! I am dying for a bean burrito with sour cream, an order of nachos supreme and a taco supreme with an extra large diet pepsi. Now you tell me how I’m supposed to substitute a meal like that with tofu alternatives?!!

I just had to blog that out man. I will be strong, I will. Maybe it’s because I kept saying, “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” all day yesterday, it sunk in to my subconscious. En Espanol no less.

With my brother here for the summer, we haven’t been keeping up on the organic diet so well as we had been. He doesn’t like anything green, and just isn’t into eating my whole wheat bread experiments. So we have had a lot more sugar, a lot more white bread, a lot less veggies and eggs and other healthy things. Let me tell you: I don;t look as healthy as I was. I don’t feel as energetic as I did. It’s amazing. 2.5 more weeks of this, and then we will be back to normal.

You don’t really want Taco Bell. Really.
