I feel both heartbroken and excited to end my vegan, plant based journey. To find out what drove me to change my eating habits, click the link in my bio. 🥺 ~•~ For me, I was choosing veganism for all the wrong reasons. Allowing myself to cheat “every now and then” and still referring to myself as vegan was the first red flag. I was never “vegan” and I couldn’t have even dared to call myself vegan. I was merely a girl enjoying plant based foods. I should have never put a label on myself. For all the details on my 2 years of “veganism”, read my most recent blog post. While there’s so much more I need to discuss, I figured maybe it will help get my point across. By no means is this an open invitation for criticism and I am no means trying to convince others to stop eating plant based. If it feels right to you, I am so unbelievably ecstatic for you and I thank you for your dedication. For me, something never really felt right. It never really felt like my own. I can easily say now that I am allowing myself to have to freedom to eat whatever I please. I feel myself again. I feel lighter and happier and WAY more energetic. But understand that my morals are still very much in place and I want nothing more than to stop animal cruelty. For me, it means eating more pasture raised, cage free, and organic meats. Knowing they lived happy and healthy lives gives me a more at peace conscious. ❤️ ~•~ Last night I marinaded free-range organic chicken tenders in lime juice, chili, evoo, maple syrup, garlic and salt. Grilled until charred, tossed in some fresh salt, pepper and parsley + made some bomb ass rice and bean burritos. Not to mention I was able to bond with @rashaadraymond and our roomate @b_lyness over some delicious food.🌯 ~•~ I apologize in advance to all the people who dedicate their lives to veganism. You’re doing an amazing service to this world and you are appreciated EVERY SINGLE DAY. 👏🏻 ~•~ #notvegan #notvegetarian #notpescatarian #notfruitarian #notlabelled #free #healthy #happy #strong #ethicalmeat #dowhatsbestforyou #nolongervegan #farmraised #chililime #noonesperfect #iamme https://www.instagram.com/p/B17HOEIJoOb/?igshid=1gl9g23j4waqz
