I never thought I'd be able to go meatless for a week, let alone over a month. People at work have noticed and put it down to willpower. I'm the first to jump in and say "Fuck No! Nobody loves a McGriddle more than I do!" I'm able to stick to this diet because it's the easiest one I've ever been on.
I walk through the supermarket with different eyes. I can even shop while hungry. I went to Trader Joe's this weekend and noticed something odd. You know the free samples they offer? There was nothing being offered that I could eat. They were all meat and cheese products. I told the guy who had a mini lunch plate, "It looks good, but I swore off meat." and he said. "I can make you a plate of chips and potato salad." I politely declined. This is the healthier choice Trader Joe's here! They did turn me on to that fantastic Spicy Lentil Wrap!
It's when I think thoughts like that when I realize how much I've missed out on due the diet I had. A whole new world of possible choice is now opening up. I'm not limiting what I eat. I'm expanding it by leaps and bounds. My diet had so few choices before. Now I'm awake!
