Veganism: Summation

Last night, I went to Kona with the group. I ate the roasted vegetable ziti, and it was very good. It was very difficult for me to look over the menu at all of the things that I could eat, but I somehow managed.

Today, I ate cereal with soy milk for breakfast even though I didn't have to. It's just become a habit.

For my first non-vegan meal, I will be eating sushi. This is ironic considering that seafood was by far the easiest to avoid. I don't feel a rush to eat as much non-vegan food as possible, I just want to eat food that will fill me up.

I believe that I will eat less meat and dairy now that I have done this project.

Looking back on my other posts, I noticed that I mentioned hummus one time, on my second day as a vegan. This was a curious omission from my other posts, considering that hummus became my new best friend.

I currently weigh 166 pounds, which is four pounds less than what I weighed at the beginning. Not a big difference, but I have never been very concerned about my weight and it did not factor into my decision to take up this experiment.

The biggest issues I had with the diet were getting enough protein, and feeling sufficiently full after meals. Both of these could be addressed by a richer knowledge of available vegan foods, but I am not in possession of this knowledge.

The time has come for indulgence.
