4 moths ago today I decided to be vegan. Why? Because I have diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, gout and a desire to not have those things any more. So far so good. My bp is normal, my blood sugar is getting there, I haven't had a gout attack in the past 4 months and I've lost some weight.
And I feel good.
Yeah, some days it sucks to not have the junk foods I crave. Having a stroke sucked more and while a vegan diet might now work for everyone it does for me. I feel better and am getting healthier.
I didn't have a problem giving up the stuff I thought I could never live without. I just had to choose myself over the bad foods. I had to choose my health over my childish need to consume. I had to choose life over death.
and for 4 months I have.
