"trying" to eat vegan.

So, I watched "What The Health" and I'm traumatized. I've know what's healthy and what's not my whole life but just watching the documentary made me realize that I'm not headed in the right direction. Chicken isn't even good for me. So I have decided to make a life change. I'm going to try going vegan. It's going to be extremely hard but I have to. I've wanted to before but I just couldn't follow it. But I have decided that I am actually going to go through with it for my health and sanity. Day 1: I ate strawberries for breakfast. For lunch, I cooked "nopal", carrots and mushrooms with olive oil, lemon pepper and garlic salt, it was really good. As a snack I ate cucumber with lettuce and Tajin. As my second lunch, I ate rice with lemon pepper and cucumber with a "bolillo". I'm not completely sure if "bolillos" are vegan but I'm trying. For dinner I ate rice with lemon pepper and cucumber with Tajin again. It wasn't that hard to eat vegan today. It was actually pretty good. I just think that eating vegan is going to take more work since I have to prep stuff and cook since my mom isn't making vegan meals, I have to make my own. Day 2: I drank water for breakfast. I ate strawberries as a late breakfast. I'm too lazy to "cook" anything. I had a thin crust, no cheese, extra sauce topped with mushrooms and spinach pizza for lunch. As a snack, I had Doritos spicy sweet chilly chips. Day 3: I ate a banana for breakfast. I ate a fruit cup for lunch. I haven't really felt hungry today... but I still made myself dinner. I cooked broccoli, mushroom, and spinach and I added lemon pepper and garlic salt. It was really good. I then made a strawberry smoothie with almond milk. It's pretty easy to eat "vegan" friendly food, it's just hard that I am very restricted on the food supply I have. Day 4: I ate a nectarine for breakfast. I drank a mango smoothie (has no milk) from a coffee shop at my local mall for lunch. I ate Chinese food and I don't know if it was truly vegan or not but I took out the meat and egg it had in it. I ate a subway sandwich, I got a Veggie Delite, I don't know if it was vegan or not because of the bread. I didn't pick the bread, my mom did. I'm really trying to eat vegan but sometimes it's just a little difficult. Day 5: A strawberry smoothie with almond milk was my breakfast. I ate a banana as a snack. I went to an Indian Cuisine restaurant and they served vegan food so I ate a garbanzo/lentil type soup as an appetizer and I got a mock Chicken curry as the main course. I ate my leftovers as dinner. I ate cherries as a midnight snack. Day 6: I ate rice and beans as breakfast. I drank a Starbucks pink drink as my lunch. There was a potluck at work and I ate fruit and takis there and drank a Capri sun and pink lemonade. The pizza was so tempting but I had self control and didn't get any. I ate rice and beans again for dinner. ....... I cheated..... I ate two subway cookies that aren't vegan as a midnight snack. I KNOW THERES VEGAN COOKIES OUT THERE BUT SUBWAY COOKIES ARE JUST SOOOO GOOD. At least I could handle 5 days without animal products. And it was hard, it was very hard. I love cheese. Cheese can make any meal better. And I haven't had any in 6 days!! I know I didn't even go a full week without animal products, but at least I tried. And I will continue trying. I have to make this life change for my health. I don't want clogged arteries. I also know that not everything I've eaten this week is healthy, like the chips. Even though the chips are vegan, they're not healthy. I just need to eat some kind of junk food. I can control not eating meat but I can't control not eating junk food. It's what makes me happy. But also being healthy and losing weight would make me happy. So I don't know what to do. I ate vegetarian for 6 days at least. No meat, no chicken, no turkey, no beef, no pork, no fish. Maybe I should've started with just trying out vegetarianism since it's easier and then slowly transitioning to veganism. I promise that I will continue to eat vegetarian. I don't promise that I will eat vegan. It's very hard to when sooooo many products contain dairy. I'll let you know when I've gone a month eating vegan. I don't see it happening soon but it will happen in my lifetime. I believe in myself. I have to do it for myself.
