Veganism never appealed to me. Until now. After battling fibromyalgia and reaching the point that I feel like I have overcome the searing pain that haunted me for so many years (see My Yoglates II South Story) , I have decided that I want ALL of me back. What does that mean? I have been married for 21 years, have given birth to 4 children, and have been on the 21st century treadmill--work, sleep, eat (repeat) . And, oh, by the way, I have gained 40 pounds since getting married. In addition, I have been suffering with recurring stomach pain--diagnosed with IBS. (A walking medical journal.) An interesting combination of tenacity and patience have led me to the conclusion that veganism might be a really great way to improve my health and mental function. Won't hurt. Might help.
Now I am on a journey. It's only been 3 weeks, but my thinking is clearer and I have more energy. NO MORE STOMACH PAINS. I am following vegancoach.com and will be reading a documentay book called Forks over Knives, to get a better picture of what veganism should look like. Not interested in the political implications of veganism....just the health.
Praying for the best.
