I'm done.
No more fad diets. No more Atkins. No more South Beach. No more crazy shit that helped me lose weight here and there, but nothing I ever could stick to. No more. The only thing that ever really helped, boosted my energy, and made me feel thin was being a vegetarian. So that's what I'm going back to doing.
Back to, you say? One reason why I had stopped being a vegetarian:
I ran into a little illness a while back while I was a veg, and had some stomach/digestion problems. Instantly I assumed it may have been the lack of meat (Not protein, because I was getting plenty from yogurt and nuts) so I just started eating that. I was kind of an idiot to assume that because I still felt like shit even after reintroducing it. Not to mention meat is extremely harsh on the digestive system when eaten in large amounts. After a consultation with my doctor, she predicted it may be mild IBS due to all the stress I had been going through, and it was common in my family. So once the problem was solved I never really thought to go back to my ways because vegetarianism wasn't what caused it.
But now I know, I need to.
So hoorah, I'm an over night vegetarian again and all of you can chuckle at me. But hey, if it works, it works and I can't emphasize how good I felt as a vegetarian. Meat is so heavy on the stomach and it's not good for digestion anyway. I actually was busy reading all about veggies and fruits from this website today and if anyone else is interested in their benefits, check it out. Every time I look up the importance of fruit and veggies, I always somehow end up at this site.
The Fruit Pages
In other news, I can gladly announce that I have purchased a new measuring tape so I can FINALLY start posting measurements. I was somewhat debating as to whether I should post them weekly, every two weeks, every three weeks or every month. I think monthly would show the most results and be more of a comparison. I'll figure it out sometime soon.
For now, I'm going to decide what I'm going to eat for breakfast tomorrow. Pineapple sounds delightful. :)
