My social worker visited me the other day. It was a good day and I was in high spirits. Yet, when he asked how I had been doing the last two weeks, I felt the need to emphasise that I hadn't been doing too good, despite my appearance of being quite well. I was worried that he would think I was doing much better overall than I had been.

Join me as I try to crawl out of the black pit of depression by setting myself a challenge a month. These include: Stop smoking, lose weight, CCNA certification and going vegan.

Change Is The Only Constant
Everything has changed, is changing and will change. Change brings us summer, flowers, mountains, hunger, maturity.
Existing inherently from inside this skin, personal change can be difficult to notice. Travel on your own to another place for a month, and you may return feeling like you've changed very little, save for a boat-load of new memories. To others, however, you've become much more assertive, independent and self-confident. You've changed.

Eat Vegan - The Interview aka The Inside Scoop ("Scoop"! Get it? Scoop? Food? Ice cream SCOOP? Food? Vegan? Food? Scoop?? Oh, forget it. Don't worry...)
A big thank you to Tilly, Megan, Abbie, Jess and Andrew for the questions.
What was the hardest thing about going vegan?
I found social occasions the hardest thing to deal with. By nature, I don't like to feel others are going out of their way on my account. If you look back to my post here, you'll see that I struggled with this in the second week of the month.

Eat Vegan - Moving On Up
Well this week has been much better than the last. I'm actually quite pleased with myself. You see, usually after such an epic mess-up such as last week, I'd beat myself up and go on a binge of whatever I wasn't supposed to be eating. It's a huge change in me to have got back on the wagon so easily.
