As I mentioned earlier, I'm dropping my provided-food diet in favor of my prior mostly vegan lifestyle. And it doesn't seem that anyone is surprised that I quit. Probably because most people were surprised I'd try it to begin with.
Let's call it an act of desperation. And while losing 8 lbs is great, it didn't enable me suddenly to sit, which really was my ulterior motive.
Still, I realized I learned a few things during this momentary lapse: mercy, appropriate portion sizes are just so much smaller than what you see everywhere. And there was almost no gluten. But fruits and vegetables all the time. So, I'll take that awareness and apply it to my preferred, homemade, whole food yada yada yada foods.
And I'm not the only one committing to a whole foods life at this bountiful time of harvest. My folks are investigating it too--in fact, Pop is veering vegan! And Mom is mostly along for the ride with him. Mama Hungry and I are revamping the way we shop and cook, to better feed ourselves and the kids. And Aunt Banana is even making all of her own baby food.
And that's all something I can be thankful for a few months early.
