I still intend to keep this year a vegan year and I have found that when I tell myself "well cage free eggs are not so bad" I start down a slippery slope. Personally, and really it is my OWN personal thought not ment to offend, I can not see the difference in the SAD and "vegetarian" diet that has eggs and milk in it....oh and sometimes fish... I have to be dilligent and not GIVE IN to what others say! I actually had quite a bad allergic reaction to the pizza on Saturday. It was very hard to shop for the weekly groceries, including meat, this week. I did get mad this weekend over stupid stuff and it led to bad choices. I do get my meat from farmers that are local and have a great respect for the lives of thier animals. By doing that I feel I am at least not adding to factory farming murder of the planet and animals, but still its not for me (animal products), it is just my compromise for now. I do sometimes see the distance this choice makes and as I go through the year I need to become more comfortable with that if I can not narrow the gap. Faith

It can be slippery, as you say...and thus clarity and conviction - along with support - are key in making the shifts against the strong tide of what everyone around you seems to be eating. Keep in touch with those - such as forums like this - who reinforce the benefits - and they are more than multiple - of making these important dietary changes. Here's a great little video I just posted from Rip Esselstyn that might give you a motivational boost this morning! http://www.lanimuelrath.com/diet-nutrition/diet-book-for-a-new-decade-rip-esselstyns-engine-2-diet/ Again...these changes are SO worth it! Ease in weight loss and maintenance, better energy, mental clarity, congruency with your convictions...the list goes on and on. But you know that!

No weight loss, after what I view as massive changes in my diet. Finally, today, the scales say I have lost 5 pounds! What I'm saying is don't give up. Be mindful of what makes you comfortable in your own skin! When our primary coping skill is an addictive behavior, we fall into it before we know it has happened. Then there's the guilt, etc. Bad choices are only choices and there will be plenty of opportunity for you to make different choices! I know it's frustrating, I have been the Queen of frustration these last 2 weeks! I'm trying to learn patience and boy, this has been a real learning experience. Seek support, pay attention, ask yourself, what am i aware of experiencing? what would I prefer to experience? what choices can i make that will move me toward what i want? then practice making those choices! We are all here to support each other. May you be frustration free!
