Big Announcement...I think I'm going...VEGGIE!!!

Soooo over the past few years, especially since coming to college I've wanted to be healthier. I've always had issues with dieting, weightloss, negative body image, etc. Well few years ago I chopped my hair off..off! I cut off all the chemically processed ends because I was tired of feeling like I could only be pretty with long silky straight hair, I decided to treat my hair better and healthier so I cut it off and only use natural products or products with no harsh chemicals on my hair..its the best decision I ever made. Now I want to do the same for the rest of my body, by becoming a vegetarian. My body is my temple and I need to start treating it that way.

After going natural (hair wise) I knew this was the first step toward being healthier, holistically and from that point on, 1 and half ago I've been trying to treat my mind, body, and spirit much better. I'm at the point in my life where I want to live and have a healthy and happy existane and I simply can't do that if I'm putting junk in my mouth, saying negative things about my body, and not taking the time to be active. When you eat better you have more energy, you think better, your body, you skin, you hair looks better..it all works together to make YOU BETTER. And I want to be better, be the best me I can be. I've always hated how I felt after eating really bad food and now it only gets stronger. The grease, the over processed crap, its all junk..and I and my body are worth so much more than junk. I need to be particular about who and what I let in my body...my temple. And thats why I think it would be best if I became a vegetarian.

I already rarely eat red meet, I've been chillin with chicken since high school lmao. And last week I decided for sure that I won't eat red meat again, it doesn't even tastes that good to me. Because I red meat ever so often I know I won't miss it. So with that decision I started thinking that maybe I need to work toward cutting out the overprocessed steriod chicken and work toward just eating things that are healthy for me.

So I've been reading and study and hope to learn more, but I'm determined. Its just time to feel better and be better. I know this will be a good decision for me. Wish me luck : )
