*Note. I don't normally get my info from Glamour! But this seemed to sum things up nicely.
About 4 1/2 years ago, I too went vegan. I enlisted a young lady by the name of Ms. J
amie McKeown (Far right, grey shirt. It's the only pic I could get to go on here.) to be my mentor. She had zero qualifications to be hired as my mentor, but I enjoyed her dry humor and we shared many of the same views when it came to celebrities and Hollywood, so I took a chance on her. After years of being vegetarian, she had begun eating vegan a few weeks earlier, so basically I was just copying her after I read a booklet from PETA.
There's no ending to that story other than Jamie is still vegan and mostly even raw now and I failed about six months into it. That's a lie. Four months. It was Easter and my mom, knowing I was eating vegan, got me a bag of Easter M&M's. Who does that?! Marianne Carter does. Here's the culprit:
I still consider Jamie my mentor even though she offers me empty invitations to din din. That hurts Jamie.... She did do something right though because I'm still a vegetarian and don't plan on ever eating meat again!
P.S. Just this week my brother sent me an "invitation" on facebook to "Eat An Animal for PETA Day." I didn't think that was very funny.
Good question, why IS everyone going vegan?!

The face of EVIL!
During those animal free months I felt light as a feather and my body seriously felt so cleaned out. (Trust me, eating vegan cleans you out!) However, being vegan is HARD WORK and I don't think it should be looked at as a fad diet and a quick way to lose weight. You really should do it for the sake of your health and hopefully even give those animals you never thought about before some thought!I still consider Jamie my mentor even though she offers me empty invitations to din din.

Thanks so much for adding me to your blog roll and welcome to the world of blogging!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks! I look at yours daily and was literally JUST admiring "Orange Crush!"
ReplyDeleteI tried to go vegan after reading Skinny Bitch a few years ago. I think I lasted three days. It's hard and I'm not dedicated or passionate enough. :(
ReplyDeleteYou lasted longer than me! I also tried going vegan after reading the Skinny Bitch book... I may have lasted a week. At the most. I still gained a lot from having read that book - its a great read!
