Day 10 - There are others like me?!

Today at lunch I was surprised to find that, yet again, there was a veggie alternative to our food.  It turns out that one of the main ladies here in Texas is a Vegan!  The food we've been eating has not been truly vegan, but in consideration of her, we've at least had meatless options.  How cool is it to find someone in Texas that doesn't eat meat right at a time when I'm struggling with the whole concept?!  It lifted my spirits :-)  I should really try to hook up with my vegetarian and vegan friends.
I still feel gross, but I've had a minor break through.  I am not eating healthy.  Just because I'm not eating meat doesn't mean I'm eating any healthier than I did before.  I had enchiladas for dinner and after I ate half of them, I noticed that my plate was drenched in grease.  Not good.  I need to pick healthier options and not just assume that I'm eating healthy because it's not meat.  There are SO many ways to eat unhealthy. 
Also, I think I've been worried about being hungry, so I've been eating large portions of food.  I need to eat less at a time.  If I get hungry at 3pm, I should have some veggies or yogurt or just something healthy.  I shouldn't worry so much about starving.  Maybe I should fast and pray for the wisdom not to worry about being hungry?! Lol!  I read all the time in articles about how much Americans over eat.  I'm just going to repeat under my breath whilst I'm eating, "You will not starve if you stop eating now.  You can have a healthy snack later, I promise.  You live RIGHT next to a Publix and there's ice cream in the fridge at home."  I guess I need to chill.
Before dinner I actually took a Beano for the first time!  My stomach doesn't feel as bad as it has felt after eating recently.  Maybe there's some truth to Beano after all.  It's only my first time taking it though, and I did purposefully not finish my food at dinner.  I need to read up on how often I can take this stuff.
