Veganism


So it has been three weeks, since I have become a vegan. I have to say it has been really easy. I didn't really eat meat all that much, or dairy products. I think the only thing that I have really sacrificed is cheese. I do miss it some times but only because it is just easy. It is a little hard with picking stuff out at a restaurant, but not that hard.

The real surprise has been the energy. Since I did a lot of reading and research before making the switch I am very careful about nutrition, so I probably get more nutrients now than when I was an omnivore. I am super energized all the time like my body is running on all cylinders. I also started taking feverfew for my migraines. I don't know if it is the diet or the feverfew, but I am pain free.

This is a revelation. I haven't been this happy in a while. I have started to go to the gym because I feel like I did before the migraines started. I am praying for this to continue, but cautiously waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know I shouldn't do that, but after all these years of pain it seems inevitable that it will happen. Fingers crossed!!!
