Missing Foods

As you know, I ate pizza with cheese, ham, and pineapple last night. Honestly? I feel like I'm paying for it... I feel sluggish (in more than one aspect :|...) and really weighed down. I absolutely regret that pizza.
But I do miss some non-vegan foods:

Steak - actually, I don't miss this sooo much. Even though steak is my favorite food, I rarely got to eat it, so I guess its not so bad.

Chicken - I do miss chicken. I love chicken wings, my mom's "Greek Chicken," ground chicken chili, and that delicious mayo/swiss cheese-covered baked chicken that would probably lead to a heart attack. I'd say that if I had a grill, a little one like the one in the picture, or even just a George Foreman type grill, I'd grill up a little chicken to put in salads.
(I'd grill basically everything I could if I had a grill.)

Ice Cream - gah! I miss ice cream so much! Its one of my favorite desserts and I can't have it! There is rice ice cream and sorbets and such, but they don't really scratch that itch. And this craving for ice cream is only getting worse as the weather is getting hotter.

Chocolate - I. Miss. Chocolate. Now, don't get me wrong, I like dark chocolate too... but you have to get 70%+ dark chocolate for it to be vegan. I don't particularly favor dark chocolate. I would kill for a Hershey's Symphony bar... I'd freeze it and eat it nibble by nibble when the craving strikes.

Soda - SURPRISE! I DON'T MISS SODA! Okay, so I used to drink a soda or two a day. Yes, seriously. But since we started this vegan thing and since school is out (no more access to vending machines), I think I have drunk only 3 or 4 sodas in the past two weeks. I don't think you understand how much of a breakthrough that is!


Well, despite all the foods that I miss, I have grown to love a few too.
So, here I go, back on the wagon for the second half of my vegan experiment... I'll keep you posted.
