This is my second ever blog post, written 2 days before I actually stopped eating animal products. At the time I didn’t realize that I would be starting the ‘experiment’ (as I was then calling it) so soon, but I was already beginning to realize that it wouldn’t be a temporary thing.
Again, this post has not been edited, even though I am cringing at some of the dorky things I wrote!!!
Day 2, Day Negative 2 (written July 8, 2010)
I didn’t get much time to do research today but I did find a vegan website that listed some vegan celebrities, including Ellen and Portia, Moby and Pamela Anderson. [See what I mean by 'dorky'?]
Then tonight I went to dinner with my friend Michelle at a vegan restaurant called Peacefood Cafe on the Upper West Side. The food was so awesome, and cheap! Michelle was a bit unsure of it all- being from Atlanta and all, that girl loves her BBQ! But she really enjoyed her pasta and her dessert macaroon. I had a sandwich and I bought home a tamale for Toby and some cheesecake for us both.
When I was on my way home I stopped in to buy some milk at my local pharmacy. I felt a little guilty buying it, I even tried to find some soy milk, but I was in a pharmacy after all so no soy milk for me. I know I am not starting the experiment yet, but I am thinking that this could be a long-term thing so I do feel strange for not beginning this lifestyle right now. I do want to do it right, though, so I will take the time to research it properly. I don’t want to risk my health- I don’t want to cut out all the animal products and then starve myself of important nutrients and get sick. [Dorky again! And dramatic! Luckily I figured it all out within 2 days.]
That’s all for now!
