It Wasn't Easy

It's time to celebrate. I feel like a turtle living out of its shell. It's life-changing.

What was once unimaginable has now happened. I have cooked and eaten my first serving of broccoli today!! It has brought me to tears.

Well, I don't usually cry over food.

Some may know that I'm not in any way a vegan, I don't even eat veggies except for potatoes (if you consider potatoes veggies).

So let me tell you where it all began. I think veggies, especially the green leafy ones, taste like leaves (I haven't eaten leaves, don't you worry.) I just found it kind of repulsive to eat off trees since we're humans. But lately I had an epiphany. I woke up from a nap last night and I told myself that the time has come. It's time to get out of that shell, be brave and realize that yes, veggies are friends and food.

Not a fan of systematic desensitization, I grabbed a broccoli in a plastic bag off the shelf of the grocery store, some onions and a tomato sauce in can. I decided to go full-on vegetarian tonight. Maybe just for tonight.

I never saw this day coming, even if I'm tired I just had to write about it. :-) I'm off to live life fully, and this is something I won't miss, especially if it will in turn bring me good health.

It was just too liberating to be real!

It's good to act on impulse because you can't turn back! The decision-making process has gone too fast.
