Roaming Herbivore

Vegan in London and Russia.
Lunch - Hummus, pita bred, harissa, and cucumber.  Yesterday someone important to me was critical of my vegan eating.  I’m still quite upset, and when I’m upset I want to restrict.  This isn’t a good lunch, but it’s an example of forcing myself to eat when I don’t want to.  Hummus and pita bread are both fear foods for me, so it is a great step that I managed to eat them on a bad day. You might also be interested to check out a new page on my blog: The Case for Veganism, which I have started to save all of the reasons that I am vegan.  I really believe that a vegan diet is more environmentally friendly, sustainable, and kinder to animals and humans.  I am afraid of milk, and I am afraid of meat, but that is NOT the reason I choose not to eat them.  I am also afraid of hummus, yet I eat it at least three times a week, I am afraid of avocados, yet I eat them twice a week.  My point is, while for some people veganism might be a veil for an eating disorder, it is not for me.

Lunch - Spinach, falafel, and cucumber salad with homemade pepper tortilla chips and a tangerine.  I didn’t really have any food, so this was a scraped together lunch.  Usually when I have no food I make couscous… I didn’t even have any couscous!

Lunch - carrot and cucumber crudites, 2 tbsp hummus, two palm sized pita breads, and a handful of strawberries.  I have a new job!  I’m still studying but we are in exam season so I work two days a week.  It’s a great job and I’m being paid London living wage for over 21s :D :D :D That beats my under 21 minimum wage catering job.  For my new job I need to take pack lunches or else I would go hungry.  The first couple of times I felt really feint by the end of the day as I didn’t get my fruity snacks in around 3/4pm so now I take bigger lunches to help me keep going until 6pm!
