Today is the 8th day of my 40 days of veganism, and I thought I'd write down some observations from the past week. First of all, I have to say that this has not affected my life in any major way in the sense that my habits haven't changed, only the content. Maybe a little when it comes to eating regularly, vegan food seems to fill me for a shorter time so I have to really make sure to eat often enough. But that's only five times a day, according to recommendations, so I'm not eating all the time.
I really like everything I'm eating, which is great. In university restaurants I often have to go with basically the same option every time, which is usually served in only some of the restaurants, but it's all right. In fact, I am enjoying this experiment so much that I am planning on replacing some ingredients I used to eat with these new ones. For example, I've fallen in love with my breakfast compilation of rye bred with hummus and avocado, natural soy yogurt with chopped banana, frozen blueberries and sunflower seeds and coffee with hazelnut milk. I am not letting go of that one.
I've been so happy to have guidance with this experiment, as my friend is always only a phone call away to tell me how I should fry the tofu or any other questions I encounter. Thanks for that! In addition, it's been nice to cook together and to cook for other people, as well as to send pictures of everything to my sisters who don't really understand why on earth I am doing this.
I'm feeling very light, fresh and energetic. I am just a little surprised about how my mind works when it comes to craving something. Before, if I wanted to eat something really badly, I usually did go and get it as I never managed to reason with myself enough not to. Now, however, I get even worse moments of craving for example cheese or some junk food but I know there's no chance I am giving in. I guess I am a person who needs clear rules, at least when it comes to eating.
