But I did promise to update this.
Vegan week, day three. WIth only one day left, I now am in a sort of routine... and feel like I could keep this up for longer. Sometimes your friends are hardest to deal with since they are the ones that will wave a buttery pastery or a steak in front of your face just to see what sort of rise they get out of you. But I supposed I expected that from the start. I think my body is starting to adjust to eating food of a lower energy density since I no longer feel hungry 2 hours after meals. I've found it surprisingly easy not to give up on veganism even when outside the dining hall, too. At our meeting tonight, there were cake and cookies galore (all non vegan, of course) as well as sour cream & onion chips and spinach dip... and I didn't eat any of it. I feel this must be an amazing diet plan: eat anything you want, when you want... as long as it's vegan. And it could even come in the mail-order with a video of murdered cows oozing with bacteria and spurting blood. Double whammy: not only do you reduce calorie intake by eating no meat/dairy, you lose your appetite after watching those videos.

PS. I'd like to point out that I'm trying very hard to be positive and not cynical in these posts... yet.
