Well today we're having a little gathering at my place and we're calling it "Friendsgiving". I feel the need to post something because I think it helps me "keep strong" with this change and it's a use of my time.
Anyway since we are all in college, we decided to throw this little get together since we will be going to our families or staying in town for the actual Thanksgiving. Honestly I just suggested it to my SO because I thought our beginning of the year potluck was a success, and well I personally don't like booze but lets be honest it's a pretty good atmosphere when there is booze and food together.
I'm not very close to any of the guys but I like to see my SO happy, and I know we needs time with his buddies so therefore "Friendsgiving" is happening.
Everyone is bringing yummy things, things that I can't have (great.) So I guess I'll have to make my vegan dinner prep, it's just a hassle. But I know it's the right thing to do, and since money IS tight tight tight I can't go to Whole Foods and just buy my usual.
Honestly, I'm just super tired. I won't give in, I won't give in, I won't give in. Pull it together. Come on.
Thanksgiving is going to be a bitch.
(No. this blog will hopefully not only be about my unhealthy relationship/obsession with food.) (I hope.)

The Master Cleanse.
Okay. Here we go...
Obviously by the title you may already know what topic I'm about to tackle, *tun tun tun* THE MASTER CLEANSE. Yes yes I know it's horrible for your body, you're starving yourself not getting enough nutrients etc. etc. But let me explain.
So recently I have decided to take on the vegan lifestyle, for a number of reasons, non of which include weight loss. If you insist, I must clarify. I have been vegan for about almost 3 weeks now, and vegetarian for a bit before that. The reason for this is not only because I want to take a stand against animal cruelty (which is a major reason) but also because I believe my body is a temple and I should treat it with respect. As in I don't want to put any junk it in.. plain and simple. I can go on and on about this, because A) I have a never ending list of reasons and B) I just love to talk about it but this whole topic is another post on its own. Long story short, I actually enjoy being vegan the food is great, and it's honestly not that hard. My body feels different like I have more energy, and even though I'm still adjusting like I said it's a notable difference.
Now I'm not saying it's been a walk in the park, of course it has it's tough moments. Like when everyone goes out to eat and the place has no vegan food, I find myself bringing my own food and just missing cheese mostly. For that reason, I do have cheat days. (Don't judge me, I love cheese and I'm not perfect) So far I've only had 2 cheat days, and my cheat days are vegetarian I never go full carnivore. Ever. That feels completely wrong to me. I'm trying to ease slowly into veganism. But ANYWAY, I've ranted enough about that, a little background knowledge never hurt anyone.
Back to the Master Cleanse, come on bring it home.
The reason I want to try this cleanse even though I've heard all the negativity around it, and believe me I fully understand the pros and cons and I agree that the cons outweigh the pros, but I need to do this because I feel that since I moved to college I've put so much jumbo mumbo in my body that I NEED to detoxify. -___- Yes, I know "detoxifying" may or may not actually work! But I think this is more of a mental thing. Like I feel that I need to detoxify and start off with a clean slate, like new. Then I can feel completely confident in what I'm doing. I will feel like I'm actually making an effort.
I will be starting my Master Cleanse on December 1st, right when I get back from Thanksgiving break and I'm hoping I'll be able to do it for 40 days but right now I'm only planning for 14 I'll tackle each day at a time. Throughout this short journey I will be posting just as a little reminder to myself in the future of what I did, and of course to try and keep track! It's going to be super hard (I've tried in the past) but my mind is set and I'm doing this.
