I knew that making the choice to go vegan would bring on a lot of questions and comments from other people. For the most part we have a lot of support and I am thankful for that. Those of you who don't seem to understand or who want to ignore things that I post about what's in the food you eat, then so be it. It's your choice and I'm not trying to change other people's eating habits. I do find myself being more aware of what other people are eating, but I think that's a normal thing when you change what you're eating. I am just raising awareness about things that I think everyone should be concerned about. If you are someone who is interested in making the change, do not hesitate to ask me questions if you have any. I will do my best to address your questions and help you out as much as I can!
One thing people ask me a lot about is if I'm tempted to eat meat. The answer is an honest no. To me it just seems so boring now compared to what I'm eating. And soda? What's that again? Joking. Really, though, I don't even know if I remember what it tastes like and I don't need to know. It literally is just empty calories and it makes you so bloated. I used to be one of those people who found water so boring, but I promise you that if you get over that you will see some awesome changes in your body and if you drink tap water (use a filter), you'll save money as well.
It seems that a lot of people think that once you go vegan you are left with limited food choices and honestly I think it's the opposite. As a couple who relied on going out to eat at least 3 times a week, we got pretty bored with our choices. When we got our first cookbook (thanks mom!) we were very surprised with all of the great looking food and all of the choices we had. The extra money in the bank is nice, too.
P.S. I also take vitamin B12, calcium, niacin, women's one a day multivitamin and a Vitamin B complex.
