CHALLENGE FOR EVERYBUGGY!

CHALLENGE FOR EVERYBUGGY!!!! When I told BellaTrix I was being a vegan for a week, she decided to challenge everybuggy to it!  I made a thread here, so we can report our progress. :D I think we should start on New Years.  Who wants to try it with us? 

Remember, no CHOCOLATE, or anything that has to do with milk, or eggs, so that means NO CHEESE or butter.  Have fun!  Bwa, ha, ha, ha!!  (I'm done with my week on Thursday!!!) Bwa, ha, ha, ha!! :D:D:D

I REALLY want to, but I don't think I can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( I have so few things that I actually eat, that limiting it anymore, I'd starve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a vegitarian, and I eat tofu (I had some for diner), and with my cereal I ALWAYS use rice milk, but I don't know if I can go with out cheese, and regular milk and stuff. Hmm... I'll talk to my mom about it...

I know! I'm Miss Cheese! I've had the hardest time this week, but I think I might do it longer! It's amazing how you depend on cheese, milk, and butter. I'm getting used to it, now, so it's getting fun!! If you do do it, then I should let you know that the second of third day is the hardest!

me: Daddy, can I be vegan for a week?

Dad: no, I don't think so... why?

me: no reason, just asking.

But it would be fun If I didn't need the protein.  :(

I tried yesterday, but my mom made chili....Sorry, I don't think I can do it tonight, but I'll try sometimes! 

(We are such a meaty family, so it'll be the biggest challenge ever!) What CAN I eat other than fruits and vegetables? And my mom would be mad at me if I don't drink milk because it helps with strong bones!!!! I will try for at least one day soon, and if I get through that day I'll try the next day, too! Hey! I could try after I get my braces. I probably won't be eating much the first few days!) :D

Convince your parents that it will be healthy for you (it will).  Go to the vegetarian section of the grocery store.  Look for plain soy milk (chocolate, too, if you'd like), and as many vegetarian meals as you can find (veggie burgers ((they're better then they sound)), spring rolls ((oh wait, they probably have butter...)), etc.), and buy them.  Snacks could be most anything.  Crackers are a good snack!

I tried to start yesterday, but mom didn't know yet, so I had green beans with butter. YUM!!!! Anyway, I will try after Jan 3rd too. I can't do it tomorow, because my belated birthday party is on the third, and I don't want to miss out on my own cake!!!! Unless... I do plan on making my own cake, and I have egg replacer.... I'll think about it, and report soon. :) :) :) Hmm... living without toast is gonna be hard...

Hey everybuggy! I guess I missed all the "vegan conversations"! What is vegan? Can you eat meat, or is it when you can eat nothing that has to do with animals? Thanks!! : ) : )

Whoops!  Sorry!!  Vegans are people who don't eat meat, dairy, or cheese.  It's harder than you'd think!
