Ashley's Adventures in Wonderland

I surrender.

So I think I gave up on going 100% vegan. I need cheese like Lohan needs coke. I’m just going to try to be a better lacto-ovo vegetarian and just incorporate vegan items whenever possible. I planned on ending up this way, but I truly thought I could handle being totally vegan for longer than 13 days. I may also do vegan cleanses, once a month or thereabouts. I’m just not strong enough to say no to cheese.

Update

So I made it 13 days vegan until I was craving an omelette from Bob Evan’s so badly that I just gave in. I went with their Egg Lites but I still got cheese on it. I feel bad that I gave in, and I felt even worse after I went to the bathroom, but I wanted it so badly that nothing else was tasting remotely good. I couldn’t finish it at once so I saved the rest for breakfast this morning. I will resume a vegan diet tomorrow though and try to only give in to my severe cravings on the weekend. I knew I would eventually do this, but I had hoped I would last longer before reincorporating a lacto-ovo diet.

I never thought I could just go vegan overnight and stick with it, but I’m hoping to one day achieve that. I also need to start cooking more and stay away from meat substitutes as I did when I was vegetarian. My body has a hard time digesting protein and that stuff just gives me heartburn.

Poop

In her book The Kind Diet Alicia Silverstone said I would have awesome poops as a vegan. Honestly this was one of the selling points in pursuing this lifestyle. I have yet to experience an awesome poop, this being just my fourth day as a vegan, but the moment it begins you will all know. Trust me.
