Hey everyone.
Yesterday I went to the doctors and was told that my allergy levels to Milk and Eggs was the highest she had ever seen. This obviously was distressing as I was still holding out hope it was a false positive, or that maybe I could eat it when it was baked into food. Guess not. It may seem silly to hold onto food items so dearly, but cheese was something that I used frequently for protein and additions to things that otherwise would be bland. I really miss cheese is what I'm saying.
These past few weeks have been difficult, and my mood and diet reflected that. I couldn't eat enough food to sustain myself day to day. I was having migraines, low blood sugar attacks, etc. It wasn't a good time. As milk and egg were my major protein sources during my vegetarian years, having that suddenly ripped from me was devastating to my body. So, as of yesterday I felt I was forced to make the decision to eat meat again for my health. I ate chicken yesterday, and it was odd. I felt so awful about my actions but knew that I needed this for myself to feel better.
I know there are ways to be vegan, but that isn't something I can do in my current situation. I am not a cook, and I have very little time to learn with two jobs, full time college, and a blog to run. My diet those weeks were so bland, and it seemed as if I was eating the same things every single day. These were not healthy options (my school isn't very welcoming to those who are vegetarian AND dairy sensitive) and I felt myself eating unhealthy foods multiple times throughout the day to try and keep myself from being incredibly hungry.
I am slowly adjusting to my new diet, and it's a hard transition (I've already cried twice) but I know that in the long run this is the best choice for my body. I appreciate everyone's support and am still hopeful that at some point in the future I can incorporate a plant based diet into my life again.
Also, I probably won't be posting a lot this week due to an insane sinus infection. When I'm not at school I'm sleeping! Thank you for understanding.
Love to all,
Megan.
