Why I decided to go vegan

For years I have suffered with significant stomach issues along with being chronically overweight and fatigued. I would half haphazardly try different efforts, see minimal to no results, and then give up. I really struggled with what to do to make a difference. Finally, there was a change and it happened in the mountains of North Carolina while on family vacation in early December.

My oldest sister, a vegan for many years, was in a position to need to prepare all of her meals while we were vacationing. Save for two AMAZING vegan restaurants we visited in Asheville. I was eager to jump on board and try this crazy vegan diet and see what it's really all about.

Every meal was outstanding. Every snack satisfying. Best yet, I didn't have a single issue during the full week except after one "normal" meal I opted for while we were visiting a nearby town. That was the clear sign that I needed and I made the decision that day to continue the journey when we got home.

I hope to use this blog to chronicle my adventures as I begin diving into a vegan (and overall healthier) lifestyle.
