Veganism is LIFE!

I have seen the light ... meat is NOT good for me! I am meant to be vegan. My emotional food is chicken, NOT sweets but chicken. The holidays are ALWAYS tough for me so I slipped, fell face first into chicken and couldn't get up.

Funny thing, #LeoKing had NEVER seen me eat meat in the 19 months we've been dating. He hadn't seen me sick with my asthma or allergies either. All through the holidays he watched me, in almost disgust, eat chicken. He told me I was changing. I laughed but kept eating but he was right.

Ailments that had all but disappeared began to reappear. Mucus became my best friend and it lived in my head as well as my nasal cavities. I became miserable, irritable and fatigued all the time.

At first I couldn't put my finger on it. Why all of a sudden are my allergies and asthma flaring up? Why am I so tired? Why do I feel so heavy and bloated all of a sudden? I stayed good with my sides, eating my veggies but my starch intake (carbs) picked up so there added another reason for the increased bloated feeling.

January 3rd, upon my arrival back home, I began my detox. More cold press drinks, juicing, healthy smoothies, salads, veggies ...THE GOOD STUFF! Oh and lots of water. It's day 16 of January and the mucus has significantly decreased. I still feel bloated but not as much. I know that's going to take time.

So to wrap this up, chicken ruined me during the holidays and I am so glad that I did it. I guess I had to prove to myself that living a meatless life is best.
