Respect life, go vege

September 6, 2009

Few days ago I twitted that I’m going vege. Again.

Last year I did a test – 3 months without any meat, eggs or any kind of animal milk. Results were spectacular. My digestion improved, skin was soft and smooth, my mood was better, I kept my focus without any probles and the best of all, I was happy because I knew I was doing something for myself.

Now, I’m going down this road again and I think I ain’t comming back.

Recent events that led me to this decision lined up all to perfectly. Among others, there was (maybe still is) a nasty salmonela infection I’ve got because I was eating too many egg-based foods. I’ve lost 7 pounds in just three days due to frequent visits to restroom…

Then I saw this shocking post on Steve’s blog. I’ve lost my appetite and I felt a bit guilty about being one of the many who are blindingly ignoring large parts of todays way of living. Yeah, ignorance is bliss.

Looking away from how things are being done today in order to deliver what we take for granted has become unacceptable for me. It just doesn’t feel right anymore.

While dropping all meat, eggs and animal milk based products I am maybe taking a rather large first step. Maybe I should start small and work my way through, letting my body to adjust to new diet slowly.

The problem is, I can’t stand to take another bite of chicken wings, a hamburger or even a sip of banana milk shake. It just feels plain wrong.

I know this is right for me. It feels good. Even if this is a big step, it’s not hard. I know it’ll be hard for the next 15 to 20 days because my body is used to meat food. After that it gets easier and everything start changing. For the better.

Today is day 4.
