Oh, I am SOOO with you on this, Bauie!
I used to love anything pig. Ham, pork chops, sausage, oh and BACON, oh baby oh! Ate a lot of it too. Before I was diagnosed with IBS, back in 1968 or '69, I noticed I could no longer eat the stuff. For some reason, every time I did, I got violent cramps and diarrhea. Couldn't for the life of me figure out why -- so I just chalked it up to having developed an allergy to pork. I didn't like it, but I cut it out of my diet.
Then pretty soon I noticed EVERYTHING was giving me the same symptoms -- I was getting cramps and diarrhea -- and I figured what the hell, I might as well eat my beloved pig!
But you know, it's not worth it. Okay, so now I have to have turkey sausage, turkey pepperoni, turkey ham. It's a pretty close likeness. Soy milk is absolutely delicious, and the soy desserts are incredible. Who needs cheesecake?
I hated giving up the coffee, that was the toughest for me. (I'm still having problems with that one.) Lets face it, tea just doesn't cut it. And I'm such a purist, I know I would hate rocomojo. So it's cold turkey for me. That sucks.
But there is some good news. This eating program is doing good things for our bodies. Pigs and cows aren't healthy for us. We don't need that stuff. And have you tried any of the fun recipes in here? I LOVE trying new recipes! I'm having a lot of fun baking up different breads and cakes, brownies and -- oh that chocolate mousse! WOW -- not to mention all the taste tests I've been having. It's a LOT of fun. I'm eating stuff now that I've never had before. I always knew that tofu was good for me, but I just couldn't stand the thought of it. Now I LOVE the stuff! It's really DELICIOUS -- and I know I'm doing something good for my body.
Okay, enough preaching. I hate it when that happens.
