For the past few days, I have been investigating a raw vegan diet. Yes, I know....I remember vegans when I was younger....You didn't stand down wind from them...they didn't use soap or deodorant because it contained animal products, and they were generally very fragrant!
When the offer to join Fiterella on this journey, I said yes without hesitation. I have been in a slump lately, and have been unwilling to take care of myself. I haven't gone to the gym and I haven't exercised much.
I threw a fit at myself last week, and it still didn't make a difference.
Christmas is hard on me. I admit it. I don't want it to be, I want to be like my grandmother and have my house all decorated, but why? I am alone, and very few people come over. Most of my friends are married and have families. I feel like this is finally passing.
Once she posted that she was looking for people to join her on this 30 day raw vegan diet, I though that's it! That's what I need to do to shake everything up again. I read a number of websites, went to the library and got a few recipe books...checked out the whole food store in town and started planning.
Today and tomorrow I will be cleansing with just water and my vitamins, and on January 1st, 2010 I will start down this new road.
I feel I have the educational materials to be successful at this venture...and I watched Food, Inc which made me cry...and pulled me back to a time when I was political enough to be a vegetarian for a real reason...for 6 years.
Wow! You are so awesome "pulled me back to a time when I was political enough to be a vegetarian for a real reason". Amazing. Thank you for reminding me that in my quest to give up meat it is more than just about my health but also about the inhumane way we treat animals and the Big Business Corporations that make billions off our weakness.
