general update
I'm sick of being sick all the time. I don't know what's wrong with me the past few months, I keep getting random crap... stomach viruses, cold, lung things.. And it makes no sense to me, because I feel *stronger* otherwise. My thyroid is leveling out (I can feel it, I don't feel as tired all the time, my periods are lighter and less painful, and more things that are grosser than that which I won't type, I can tolerate the heat a lot better - I haven't even had an AC in my room one night! Extreme temps are less possible to tolerate by people with hypothyroidism), so it's kinda wierd that I'm getting sick so often.
I've stopped eating meat for about... wow, six months now at least. I'm not sure of the exact date... But I placed an order for vegetarian cookbooks jan 17...
I'm struggling to lose weight. I've gained back 6 pounds, but those are the pounds that just fall right off when I diet, water weight I suppose. I just don't feel the motivation to diet at all. I just don't care about what I eat.... I'm thinking about vegan... even for the pure and simple fact that if I do that I have to REALLY watch what I'm eating and drinking, and it'll limit it quite a bit.
I just need to fuck around with new veggies and maybe raw foods.
Actually, I just spent the last hour since I wrote that last sentance looking into raw foods.... it's harder than vegan. It makes being vegan look like being vegetarian, and being vegetarian look like being an omnivore.... But at the same time it is easier... what easier way to commit to something than to cut out *ANYTHING* that may tempt you, it's what they do in recovery. If you're recovering from heroine or coke, they don't even want you drinking.... if you cut out every single remotely processed food, you won't make the mistake of going further..
However, I'm still mulling over Veganism.... I bought soy milk for my coffee instead of my fat free half and half. I'm going to cut out stright dairy and egg products, but not be crazy about the content listing of things just yet.
