An Unstable Metamorphosis

This was a rough, melancholy day.  I successfully went another day without meat; however, something within me just did not feel right, mentally and socially.  For personal reasons and your sanity, I don't want to render all of my private, personal problems.  I just experienced all of these internal and external negative emotions, and I didn't have the time or the appropriate place to expel them. My neighbor told me that it was biologically normal to feel this way after making drastic changes in one's diet, and now, I believe that statement.  When people change their diets, they are not just changing physically but mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.  I honestly didn't realize that this project would alter me so rapidly and dramatically.  However, I do believe my psychological and social struggles will eventually pass once I kill that delicious, cold turkey. PETA, do forgive me.

On the bright side, I didn't consume any meat with ease.  I started off my dining itinerary with green beans and sweet potato fries from the infamous Sodexo Dining Hall.  The green beans were pleasant bringing me memories of the ones I would string and boil with my godmother when I was a child.  The sweet potato fries were delicious as well.  That sugary, crunchy sensation is a deadly combo which will make you beg for more.  

A couple of hours later, I was extremely tired, so I decided to try a large iced coffee with mocha flavoring.  The name obviously explains the taste; the taste was rich, refined, complex, and defined.  Who would of thought such an exquisite drink would come from the Dunkin' Donuts?

For dinner, I decided to grab some food from Lee University's Subway.  For ten seconds, I pondered all of the options; then, I realized that I was a vegetarian.  However, Subway has this awesome five dollar foot long for vegetarians.  I ordered mine with Italian herbs and cheese bread, cucumbers,  tomatoes, black olives, pepper jack cheese, spinach, and sweet onion sauce.  It was the perfect combination of sweetness and spiciness.  

The napkins from Subway also struck my attention.  The information made me feel excellent about myself.  Seeing the grams of fat in a hamburger from Burger King absolutely startled me considering that I get that burger doubled. 

Today was an emotional roller coaster.  I was negatively influenced, but then I realized that everything pertaining to my vegetarian project was having a positive effect on the world.  Vegetarianism pushed me down and then brought me back up.  I became tapped into the fraternity of vegetarianism.
