One thing I didn't anticipate by the switch to veganism is the constant state of hunger I'd be in. Even though I'm eating the same volume of food I always have, I'm noticing that it's not enough to keep me full. I'm having to supplement my meals with more in-between snacks, such as carrots or celery or whatever vegan-friendly food I can find around the house. If I don't eat more, I'm afraid I'll waste away to nothing. When you're someone like me who already has the body type of a string bean, you can't afford to lose weight. Shoot... within a week, I've already had to ratchet up my belt another notch to keep my pants on. I better watch myself or I'll start turning into that kid from "Into the Wild."
Quite frankly, I don't understand how people can be having weight problems. If you want to lose weight, go vegan. I don't know too many fat vegans out there.
Today I tried some new recipes out. For breakfast, I made my own oatmeal using rolled oats I got out of the bulk foods dispenser at the store and then added brown sugar and the infamous raisins to it. Not too shabby for taking out the Quaker Oats middleman. In your face, Quaker Man! Then for dinner, I made shepherd's pie for the first time ever using real potatoes, real vegetables, and real fake meat and gravy. Vegetarian gravy... now that's an oxymoron if I ever saw one. Personally, it didn't taste quite like the shepherd's pies I've had in the past. Maybe if I wore a kilt and played bagpipes it would taste better. It couldn't hurt.
