Hey everyone!
So if you know me, I’m sure you all know that I recently began my very own vegan journey!! In late march, I decided I wanted a change in my life. I started by cutting all meat (except fish) out of my diet. I wasn’t quite ready to cut out fish because I was too big a fan of sushi! I made it through the whole summer without eating a bite of meat, other than fish, and it was such a new experience for me. Then, in early August, I decided I was going to cut fish out of my diet as well. I thought this would be a good time to make that switch, because that is around the time that I moved back to Arizona for school. I thought this would be a difficult transition, but it ended up being easier than expected. I live in my sorority house and our chef is very helpful with dietary restrictions, so he definitely makes it easier. After a while, I thought it would be a good idea to cut out all animal products. So as of this past week, I AM VEGAN!!!I am so happy to announce this and I highly recommend making the switch. Every now and then, its difficult, especially with how much I love chocolate, but its an uplifting experience. I’m hoping to continue my journey for a long period of time while I try out new recipes.
In the beginning of all of this, I decided to change my diet, simply so I could prove to myself that I could do something like this. After watching multiple documentaries and talking to other vegans and I learned a lot. Eventually, my reasons began to evolve and I couldn’t be happier with the choices I’ve made.
I can say that I sure do miss sushi a lot, and cucumber rolls don’t quite taste the same, but it’s something I’m okay with letting go.
If you have any questions or concerns about anything regarding diet changes, leave a comment below. I hope you all enjoyed learning about my journey and I hope some of you take into consideration making some changes.
If anything, try to find a way to gain more knowledge on the topic! There are multiple different documentaries on Netflix that are very helpful and knowledgeable, so if you get the chance, you should try some out!
Netflix documentaries:
Vegicated, forks over knives, Food Inc., Cowspiracy, What the Health, and Blackfish.
There are many more documentaries out there, but if you’re interested, I hope you enjoy.
A Beautiful Life
