Vegan

When people change that don't normally change their whole lives. They don't normally change their entire diet and way of thinking overnight, but that's just what I did. Ten months ago I went from eating anything and everything, having mouth sores all the time, and feeling tired and exhausting all the time, to feeling the best I have ever felt. Going vegan for most people is a transition that takes time, but I wasn't willing to give myself that transition period. I needed to see change, and I needed it fast. At first I fell into the pre-made processed vegan foods because they were most like the foods I had eaten before and of course at the beginning there were things that I missed. I don't find now that I miss as much. I will occasionally have a craving for something non-vegan but I tell myself it's not worth it, because for me it's not. I'm happier without the mouth sores (it's easier to eat too) and I love having the energy and motivation to get out and workout three times a week. I love the changes I feel in my emotional and mental confidence and the changes that I have recently seen in my body from all the exercise I've been doing.

I've tried to help people understand that I don't care what they eat. That I eat what I eat because for me it's personal choice. 

I'm so tired of the ignorant comments from people that just don't understand. No one cares what you eat till you start eating stuff that's good for you. Then everyone becomes an expert and knows everything about nutrition and what you should and shouldn't eat. 

Also, completely unrelated, I will never have another puppy in my house again. This last one is an asshole and and giant waste of fur.
