My Meatless Decision

So I'm attempting to get healthy. I decided the first way I was going to do this is to fix my disgusting fucking diet. I would eat anything really. Processing preferred, please! I was that chick who asked for Kraft over Gouda. Yep, I ate like a hog and suffered the consequences. I was overweight, I had cystic acne, and I couldn't walk half a yard much less run a mile. I was also a heavy smoker more than capable of taking out a whole pack of cigarettes within a day or two. My throat felt like the barren wastelands of the Gobi.

Look everybody, a picture of me and my esophagus!

So I got sick of seeing a 40 year old like...

...and me over here like...

...still in my fucking twenties.

So first thing's first, a tiny bit of research. I eventually figured a great way to start a better diet would be to cut out meat. I became vegetarian. At first it wasn't very difficult. Then my wallet really started to feel it. I love good food, I really do. I was still in love with deliciousness so I'd spend more on flavor. That's what made it so expensive as opposed to eating $1.55 "cheeseburger" from McDonald's.

It wasn't until later that I realized cooking for myself was so much cheaper. I actually cook now, often even!

Anyway, I was eating healthier. People noticed. I started to drop weight. I'm not speaking figuratively people, I lost 15 lbs. in about a month just by not eating meat. I was still eating bullshit like cheesecake and doritos. I wasn't complete pleased yet though, I still wanted to lose more weight and I desperately wanted my skin to clear up.

I don't know if any of you are too familiar with cystic acne but it's the shit that looks like this...

Which I later discovered is often caused by dairy. Dairy is an interesting topic in my opinion. It's pushed on us from the time we're born. In actuality, once we've stopped nursing from our mothers we're not supposed to ingest dairy. Our digestive systems aren't built to process it. Only when we're babies and we need an immune boost are we really supposed to eat/drink dairy.
So there was that. I stopped ingesting so much dairy and started taking in more nutritional, anti-acne foods like berries, nuts, chia seeds, and honey. My skin is starting to clear up, it's a wonderful but slow process I'll tell ya; Cystic acne is notoriously stubborn.
So beyond that my immune system is also stronger. Instead of taking all the fucking medicine anybody recommends to me I'll just keep eating. I eat healthy shit like oranges for my immune system. Usually every year I get sick at least once while seasons change. I'm prone to sinus infections. This year I of course knew exactly what time of what day Spring arrived because I woke up and couldn't fucking breathe. So I ate just a shit of oranges. They managed to fight off my potential sinus infection and guess what, I can actually breathe right now. It's been about two weeks of Spring and the pollen still hasn't gotten the best of me.

That's it for now, I'll get back to you guys later on more details of my diet so maybe we can get healthy together.
Flux baby, say my name!
