Crispy Crab (less) Cakes 

So, as some  may know, since I moved over here back in April, I’ve been on this sort of weight loss/ finding myself/ overall search for health journey. I started at 306.7 lbs, and I weighed in yesterday and I was down to 286.2, which I think is great in three and a half months. 

What I found really awesome about this, is that in the past week I lost three of those pounds by going primarily vegan (I say primarily because there were two days I had cheese, but I’ve been on the search for a place near me that sells vegan cheese!). I’ve been incorporating more fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, rice, and potatoes (GOOD LORD THE POTATOES) into my diet. 

When I went into the vegan lifestyle about two weeks ago, I went into it for the moral and ethical reasons. Seeing how the animals were being treated just broke my heart, so I decided to transition. To be honest, I don’t personally believe it has been that hard! Granted, I borrowed two vegan cookbooks from our library, which has helped. I’ve learned I am not a fan of tofu, no matter how it is cooked. And thankfully, I’m lucky enough to have a husband that supports me and has decided to go vegan with me.
