So, I am kind of annoyed. I just found out that one of my favorite veggie meats, Morning Star Grillers and Griller Crumbles, have milk and egg ingredients. So that sucks. Being vegan is really hard. Do I really have to be that strict to lose weight? I want to be on a plant-based diet, and I really do agree with a lot of what the book says, and how important it is not to have meat, milk and eggs in your diet. I just find it a little frusturating trying to find easy and good substitutes. I mean I don't know really how much work I want to put into this! I like the Griller veggie crumbles, I actually made them tonight with taco seasoning to make a nice big taco salad, it was really good! But if i can't use them next time, what do I use? I found online some vegan lentil taco "meat", that looks good, but it is a pretty complicated recipe, and they don't even use taco seasoning packets that I like to use in it. Seems like too much work! I mean, at least I am not eating meat! But now I can't get the veggie meats that I like either, because they aren't exactly vegan?? Or is having traces of it in veggie meats once in a while not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things? I don't know. Like I talked about a little bit yesterday, and before when they were talking about cravings, it discusses how cheating or having little bits of something once in a while, can lead to just going back to your old ways and also just make it harder to control cravings, etc. I really do understand that point of view, but i also think that if you are TOOOOO hard on yourself and TOOOOOO strict, you are more likely to binge too. So, anyway, that is my frustration tonight, I am not sure yet if i am never going to have veggie meats with egg and milk products again, or if i am going to allow myself to have these traces.
I really want to lose a size in my clothes. I wonder how long it is going to take. The first ten pounds didn't make a difference there, but hopefully the next ten pounds will!
