fasting - fourteen

Today, I would like to bring myself to account. It's a day of celebrating my successes and noting weaknesses that still require my attention. Also, it's the Ides of March, but my life isn't (yet) a Shakespearean tragedy. A comedy, perhaps, but I digress...

I am celebrating:

Eating a vegan/vegetarian diet since the beginning of the year. I love fish and it is healthy to eat, so I am not fanatical about eating vegetarian; eggs are really good for my body in moderation, so I am not attached to eating vegan either. Altogether, I have been eating lots and lots of green vegetables, non-meat proteins, lots of fresh fruit, and whole (non-wheat) grains. No sugar, no yeast, no dairy, no gluten. I am rockin' it!

I still need to pay attention to:

Being judgmental. Sheesh! For whatever reason, this one is hard for me to crack these days. But I'm working on it. I'm working on it.

I haven't lost any weight since going vegan in August (except for the occasional piece of fish, like you), but I sure feel better. I try to focus on that and not worry too much about the fat - though I tend to judge myself kind of harshly too.

thanks for the encouragement, dena!! yeah, i feel good most of the time, but every now and then (like today) i slip. mostly because of stress, or even just perceived stress. and then, all my body wants is sugar and to pack on the pounds. bleh! ah well... it's a process.

go you!
