jr. high winter camp (day 4-6):
this had moments of real difficulty but overall i was ok. there was one meal (burgers) that just had chips, buns, and hamburgers. i wanted to punch someone in the face. and then after lunch, after i had eaten some chips and was realizing i had a date with the clubhouse, matt hazelton informed me they had veggie burgers! i'm glad i know that for high school winter camp (this weekend)
days 7-13:
i'm finding that once i'm eating an actual meal, i don't even think about the lack of meat in it. i'm perfectly happy with my veggie version. in fact sometimes i think my veggies version is better than the other choice (seriously, have we thought about what's in a hot dog?). but, the prep and the thinking about what to eat sucks. training my mind to think in new ways is taking longer than i thought it would. also finding resturants that have actual vegetarian options is annoying. but thanks to a few of you (hooray for the klugs!) i am branching out in my meals.
day 14:
today, i am reminded why an experiment like this works. i have wonderful friends and family around me who want to see me suceed. the lovely tiffany janosov is making sure i have a veg-friendly option when i go to her house tonight. my momma made me eggplant parm on friday, just because she's awesome. even just those few of you reading this and sending me messages of encouragement play such a big part in my success. it's been reminding me that God wants us to share our struggles with each other. he wants us to lean on each other. so far this has been the most important lesson i'm learning.
ok, this weekend i leave for high school winter camp. i think this time around will be better- i know what to expect from you forest home!
