Eating clean is what I was telling myself. Actually, I became tired, irritable and boney! I lost 20 lbs in a matter of 8 weeks down from a size 6 to a size 00-1. Some of my family started making comments like, "Tina is looking sick......" "Your face is sunk in". I'll be the first to say I don't do anything to please anyone else but myself. I was suffering through terrible cravings for sugar, salt and carbs! I cut out way too much good stuff in my daily diet. Having worked that hard only to have people say negative things, I said to HELL with this!
I eat some junk food now by god. Chips, cookies, and yes even the occasional soda! (Oh, and meat) I don't feel sick anymore, no more cravings. After five months of going completely clean, my mind and body were both saying enough is enough. After one slice of pizza one evening, I was back. I'm actually eating chips as I type this and I don't feel guilty.
I give props to ALL vegans! It really is tough being so determined to follow that lifestyle. I'm gonna do what makes me happy, ergo I will eat what makes me happy and feel good.
I still cook all kinds of food. It's just not the biggest part of my daily life anymore, thank goodness.
