Quick Update

Hello all! This is just a quick update regarding my veganism decision. Apparently my recent posts regarding a vegan diet caused quite an uproar on the homefront. My mother is extremely concerned about my adoption of a vegan diet; on the phone, she sounded quite upset about the matter. She thinks I am still too thin, and that veganism would put me in danger of losing weight again. Also, she seems concerned that my change in diet would disrupt family gatherings at restaurants, etc. In a way, she's right: no ice cream parlor near me sells Tofutti, and I doubt that there is a neighborhood vegan pizzeria either.

In addition, I continue to have a condition called amenorrhea, a vestige of my anorexic days. If you don't know what that is, I suggest you look it up.

In light of all this, I think it is best that I rescind my decision regarding veganism. I will continue to consume dairy, although only organic, if possible. I still plan to expand my options regarding calcium-rich foods; I remain convinced that it is possible and healthful to live dairy-free. My vegan lunch habit will continue as well. Veganism is perhaps one of those things that I need to reserve for the future, when my body (or my mom!) is ready for it. I tell you all this so as not to appear hypocritical or insincere. I value all of your opinions and hope you will continue to read my blog:)

Enjoy your Saturday!
