VEGGIES!!!!!

Ok, so here we go again. I actuallly sort of have a point to my blog now... If you can call just writing about stuff a point. So here it is:

I recently became a vegatarian! It's very different for me. I used to be such a meat eater, I swore I could never be a vegatarian. (There are miracles everyday) And mind you, I've only been a veggie for about a week, so there's no telling what might happen. But I like it so far. It helps that my parents are doing it with me. My mom cooks all sorts of new things now. It is sort of weird to consciously think about what I can and cannot eat. I wonder if this is what dieting is like? I like it though. I feel like I have more energy, but maybe I just wish it so. Now, let me tell you why I just made such a drastic change in my lifestyle:

Last weekend, I stayed at my friend's house, because my parents were out of town. On Saturday, it was Australian day (her mom is Australian), and so my friend's mom decided to cook something Australian for dinner. So we had lamb. And it was sooooooooooooooooo delicious. And for desert, we had what I think is Pablova, though I might be very wrong. Apparently its named after a ballerina, because she (and the desert) is light and airy. After our yummy dinner, my friend, her brother, her brother's friend, and I all sat on couch. We decided to watch a movie. And guess what movie it was? SuperSize Me. For those who don't know, it's about this guy who is trying to find out if fast food is really a major factor in the obesity of America. So for one month, he eats only Mc.Donalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (His gf is a vegan chef, which I find SO ironic.) So at the beginning of his journey, he weighs 185 pounds, has a low percentage in body fat, and is a very healthy man. (I think is is around 30ish) By the end of the journey, he weigs 220 pounds, and is way less healthy. His liver deteriates, and the doctors tell him that if he kept going, he would literally eat his liver into submission. The doctors didn't even know that could happen.

So of course, my first reaction was: I am never eating junk food again!!!!!!! (But that's sort of unrealistic for a teenager) So I came home, and I told my mom the story. She had seen it, and was just as disgusted as I was. That night, I said to my mom, "I think I want to go vegatarian. Or at least try to be." So apparently, my parents discussed it witout me knowing, and they decided the whole family will do it with me. I don't know how my brother feels about it, he's more of a carbohydratearian. And so here I am. Sitting next to  window looking out over a beautiful backyard in St.Petersburg. A vegatarian. Let's see where this journey takes me.
