Skinny Bitch

Just finished reading this book called Skinny Bitch that I borrowed from my neighbor. I would say I have a pretty good diet now but have always been interested in becoming a vegetarian. I've dabbled in it. Of course, being a yogi, it goes hand in hand almost. Anyway, so these chicks wrote about what is bad to eat etc, which a lot I already knew, like sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour/bread, etc. And, I knew that adapting to a vegetarian life style would be ideal. They've helped me to take the plunge. I'm two days coffee free. I haven't craved it, not that I much did. I just enjoyed the taste of it. And, this weekend, I'm going to Whole Foods or Sun Harvest and loading up on vegan and organic food for myself. I've been dairy free (except cheese and the occasional yogurt) for a while now. Milk just made my stomach upset, so I started drinking soy milk which I changed to almond milk. I love the latter. Especially, since I bought the unsweetened kind, mmmmm.....tastes just like almond. And, perfect for cereal. I believe I will miss cheese at first. But, I've been down this road before and once you don't have something for awhile, your taste buds change...you stop craving. This happened with me and pizza. I gave it up last year for months. I used to LOVE pizza, if it was in front of me, I'd have to have a piece. The craving went away though and now I don't crave it at all; it can be in front of me without me needing to have a bite. I'm ready to embark!
