One of my husband's clients convinced him to go to this meet up group on Sunday to learn about being vegan. This is not a bad thing, but we are not even vegetarians so this would be a huge lifestyle change. He came home from it and we watched the movie they recommended called Forks over Knives. It was all about how eliminating animal products lowers your risk for cancer and heart disease and helps you live longer and better. Now the problem is that I am on a low carb diet right now so I am eating a lot of meat products! I don't even think I could do a low carb diet as a vegan. Other articles I've read say that fat is not as bad as they used to think and grains aren't healthy for you. There are so many different messages out there! Does anyone even know what is really healthy? I don't know what to believe anymore. I know I'm not ready to give up low carb, at least until I get to my goal weight. But after that I need to pick a lifestyle and stick to it. I'm just not sure I could pick one so extreme in any direction.

I was reading an article about the terrorist attacks in France and made the grave mistake of slipping down the rabbit hole by reading some of the comments on the article. There were so many nasty comments about Americans. One person in particular, from Japan if the profile pic is correct, that kept calling Americans "fat, soulless, pigs" with no culture and forever in debt. He and others commenting said they had no problems with "death to the pigs". I must admit that ironically the first thing I wanted to do after reading this is EAT. How messed up is that? But delving into such hatred and nastiness totally triggered sadness and anxiety in me. And that is my go-to reaction when I'm sad and anxious.

BUT instead, I moved directly to this site where I knew I would be around supportive and kind people. Just reading some of the journal entries and supportive responses has gotten me into a better place. Yes, the world has a lot of ugliness and hatred. But it also has a lot of caring and love and I need to focus on that.

Thanks to everyone here.
