become a healthier vegetarian

I have been eating more raw foods, so there’s been a massive influx of fruits, veggies, and nuts into my diet. I honestly don’t know how I could be eating healthier right now! :)

I think my goal of packing bento lunches had really helped me to make progress with this. Now I get more fruits and veggies than I did before, and always have a pretty well rounded meal.

Started to boil a bunch of eggs and kept them in the fridge for a quick meal/snack.

Easy and healthy protein.

Went swimming and then had an egg sandwich on waffles. Yum!

Don’t use meat analogs.
They’re a bad idea.

Since I eat eggs, I’ve been hard boiling a lot and then just keeping them on hand. Egg, 1/2 slice swiss, “sausage” links in a whole wheat pita is a great meal.

Have been trying to eat protein/carb/fat in each meal and eat every 3 hours. It helps to not be starving and then binge.

I need to really eat healthier. I haven’t eaten meat for about 1 year and 3 months and it’s the best thing that I have done. But…I have gone on my tofu kicks and right now I haven’t been cooking that healthy-w/tofu and fresh veggies. Have been eating mostly the frozen burgers and stuff.

So, this goal is mainly to eat a healthier vegetarian diet.

Last weekend I went over my dad’s for a special dinner. It was to celebrate my sister’s graduation. My dad cooked chicken picatta and rice and broccoli. The only thing I could eat was broccoli b/c the rice was made w/chicken stock. I felt annoyed that he forget and my stepmother was annoying b/c she said she forgot about my “thing.” Anyway, I wound up going to the store to get frozen bean burgers. Oh well.

I went over my dad’s tonight and he made a big dinner for my sister’s birthday. Lasagna, chicken, salad etc. He made a little pan of meatless lasagna just for me! I was so psyched and I really appreciated that he finally accepted my choices and respects me too :)

Staying vegetarian is easy for me. Becoming vegan would be quite harder and right now this is on hold. Anyone on the fence about vegetarianism should go on the PETA website.
