Don't fall into the trap of hating food. I cant see "normal" food anymore, all I see is the crap you talked about along with processed food on the shelves and have a problem with it, the industries that created them, the companies that tout them. It has become something i despise and it takes a lot of energy to despise something. I wish I had not started down that path because its pretty hard to forget how shit everything is when you know the truth.
I call myself vegan but I do have relapses from time to time it does affect me mentally but more so physically. I get really sick if I break but at the time it might seem like a good idea or a treat. Good for you for taking a step to change your diet for the better. It wont be easy but after you see the real changes you wont be able to go back.
No worries. I don't hate anything. And my love for food is on a whole other level. lol I don't hate the industries and the packaged food and the meat, but I just don't want to eat them. But thank you, it's true that hating anything in life is self-damaging.
And yeah, I already don't want to go back. Last night I ate a mini pizza, and immediately broke out into hives and eczema, and I just thought, "Well that's that."
