Im telling this wee story for the benefit of everyone, not to hear myself type, lol...I went vegan some 35 years ago, but I was initially a junk food vegan, my two biggest splurges were soda & chips, Id even swap a healthy meal at times for soda & chips! Im urging you not to do that. It took some years to catch up with me, but those junk food years cost me more than I can say in terms of my health. I have some odd structural things going on that I basically have to live with, and I DONT want ANYONE else to get like this! I have faith it will turn around. I havent had soda now I think in 6 or 7 years and I rarely touch chips, only if there is absolutely nothing else to eat would I eat chips. I credit my vegan lifestyle and the healthy way I eat now for keeping me going despite some pretty daunting challenges. Ive never eaten healthier in my life. And I feel a bit guilty, not riddled with guilt, but a bit guilty for those junk food years because veganism is supposed to not only be about kindness to animals but also kindness to ourselves. So, as you know, we learn from each others mistakes, hope you learn from mine. (I do know that a lot of you would not touch soda & chips under any circumstances, but those two items sell big in every store, so somebody is consuming them, lol)
