Why am I trying out being a vegan?
I'm sick of being fat. I'm sick of being fat. I'm sick of being fat. I'll be 40 in just over a year. I've spent the first half of my life fat, do I want to continue this way? NO NO NO NO -- No, I don't thank you very much.
Why am I trying to overcome my addiction to sugar?
I'm an abstainer, not a moderator - give me a box of cookies and those suckers are gone!. I'm also a compulsive overeater. If I tried to have just one of the cookies -- well it doesn't work. Why? Because I become obsessive. I'll walk away...for a while, but I will likely return...and then return again and again until they are all gone. And let's not talk about the time I spend thinking about the cookie and trying not to go get them. I have more important things to do.
So what?
So, this means for me to eat healthily it would be best to completely eliminate certain foods from my diet. I was vegetarian once before and was surprised at how easy it was. I remember eating out and looking at the menu -- anything with meat was "NOT AN OPTION" -- I'm just going back to that and expanding my No Options component.
With sugar I've noticed that when I eat something delicious and sweet and wonderful I feel like shit for a while afterward. Why would I knowingly feel like shit when to avoid that feeling all I have to do is avoid this crappy food anyway?
