Din-din (dinner)

So I made it through my first day of being Vegan! It was really hard because I was the only person at home today and there was absolutely NOTHING to eat for lunch, hence why I ate..... Cucumber, Carrot, Vita-Wheats and Sweet Chilli Sauce. Appetising! But it got so much better from their on, for dinner I made Ratatouille Pasta (Zucchini, Eggplant, Onion, Tomato) and for dessert I made Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes which taste AH-MAZ-ING! All in all it was really good food and much better than what I expected it to be like. Please excuse the really crappy photo of the Ratatouille, I took a quick one because I was so hungry I couldn't be bothered with trying to perfect it. And the recipe for the Cupcakes can be found below, I suggest everyone; Vegan, Vegetarian or Meat eater, try them, they are like moist chocolate moussey goodness!

And so it begins!

So today is my very first day of being 100% Vegan. I have thought about this for a long time and I think it is the right choice for me. As someone who doesn't really pay attention to their diet this is definitely going to be a hard thing for me to follow and keep up with but as long as I am willing to do this I should be fine.

The Reason:

Dietary - Recently milk and milk products have been making me feel sick again.

Health - Because I want to be a healthier person and I thought that I should start now so that I can make a good habit of it instead of when I am older and it will be harder.

Animals - Until last night it wasn't really about the animals. Then I read some peoples quotes as to why they went Vegan and they were so true.

"A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral." - Leo Tolstoy

Wish me luck!
