I miss cheese. I miss burritos and cheeseburgers. I miss buttery popcorn and chocolate — Oh, chocolate! I miss ridiculously delicious food that tingles my jaw. I couldn’t fall asleep on Monday night because the smell of burritos filled my room… Or so I thought. I called my boyfriend, who was not happy about the 1 a.m. phone call, for a consult. He decided I was crazy and hungry, and that nobody was making burritos in my room… Guess that’s settled.
I’m avoiding T-Dubs for the rest of the week because my will power is definitely not strong enough! Knowing that in just a few days I will be able to enjoy mozzarella cheese is making this week the most difficult. I’m in a limbo phase where I want to stay vegan because I feel very healthy, but I want to enjoy a delicious meal in a restaurant without having to ask a million questions. So, maybe I’ll be veganish.
This whole experience has made me very aware of what I eat on a regular basis. It has been a learning experience and a time for personal growth. It has forced me to think about what I eat and where it comes from. Whether or not I continue as a vegan, I will always be more aware of where my food comes from, how the animals are treated, and what hormones and chemicals they are induced with. Considering my obsession with Whole Foods, I’m sure I’ll continue making smart choices, but I might indulge first…
Thanks for following Allison’s vegan journey!
