Ok, so I thought that once I became a vegan any excess weight on my body would just melt off me. Initially I lost three pounds, but since then I've stopped losing weight. I know that I don't have much to lose and that I'm at a very healthy weight, but I think we all at times have pictured vegans as gaunt and way too skinny and incapable of maintaining a healthy layer of fat. This is not the case for me :) So far I feel my body is thriving and somedays I might be eating just a tad too much.
So far so good on this diet. My dog has enjoyed samplings of all the foods I'm eating too! He's my sous-chef in the kitchen.
This week I've been craving naughty foods a bit more, but those cravings go away quickly and I can easily stay on track.
Nothing else to report right now....
I've heard that when you have a craving for a "naughty" food it's a good idea to set a timer for 15 minutes and wait it out. When the timer rings, your craving may have disappeared :-) So much of our eating is impulsive. I'm trying to be more aware of all things going into my mouth. I'm also going shopping for a kitchen timer!!
