I May Have Been Vegucated

I just finished watching the documentary Vegucated and I have to say it did affect me. The horrific mistreatment of the animals was almost too much to watch. I've been a meat eater my entire life, I love meat! I love cooking and baking as well. Food is my passion, it has been for a very long time. I actually crave cheeseburgers on a regular basis. But my most favorite food is eggs. I love them fried, scrambled, poached, over easy, as a hollandaise sauce, and in baked goods. Eggs are just all around good anyway you make them. And then there's cheese! Oh yes, cheese, it goes so good with eggs and almost every kind of meat. There are so may different kinds of cheese, from American, to Swiss, to a good cheddar. I also love seafood, all of it! So this is why attempting to go vegan is going to be a challenge. But I figure if the people in the documentary could give it a try, so can I. Not to mention the fact the I put on a few (okay, more than a few) pounds over the last holiday season and I would love to lose some weight. So here I go! I'm going to really try this. Today is January 24, 2015. I plan on starting next week on February 1st. Why am I waiting a week to start? First of all, I have food I need to eat up that I don't want to waste. Secondly, I need to start stocking up this week on supplies so I don't run out of food. I'll buy a lot of the nonperishable supplies this week, such as nuts, seeds, legumes, and other packaged items. I need to also prep myself mentally. But I am serious, I am going to try this. I will do it just like they did it in the documentary, I will do it for 6 weeks and see how I feel after that. I am very curious to see if I notice a change. I am also hoping I can stick to it without caving in and quitting. I guess time will tell. I'll keep a daily journal here every day when I actually start it next week. Wish me luck!
