Pre-Vegan Motivation

My Motivation Statement:

In two weeks, I plan on cleaning out my cupboards in a grand attempt to start eating vegan. I am sick of reading about pink goo, chemicals, and all the garbage that is in what we call "food." Trying to get in the mind set that food is to fuel my body and I know that this is going to take some dedication. So here we go... anyone want to go on this dive with me?


Below are My Reasons:

1)  It's just me.  I'm single.  I don't cook for anyone.  Heck, I don't even cook for myself!  So why not?
2)  I don't think that I need to be consuming these chemcials.
3)  I want to be healthy.  I am active enough throughout the day, but the crap I eat cancels all of that out.
