Hi! I'm Celia! I've known Devon since freshman year of college. By senior year, my husband, then boyfriend, liked to refer to him as our first born. Some of you may know me from http://eatscreamcry.blogspot.com/. I like to think I assisted, just a little, in Devon's decision to go vegetarian after his visit to the East Coast last summer. I decided to go Vegan last April. After years of unexplained stomach issues, bloating and swollen intestines, endless tests were run, with no solution. I was told to cut out dairy and gluten. Both helped, but not all my symptoms disappeared. So I went in search of my own solution.
I decided I needed to change the way I ate, after all we are what we eat. This was a huge undertaking considering there was always some form of meat in every meal I ate. Protein is important, and at the time I wasn't sure where else to get it. After several books and endless websites, I made the switch. At the time, and still currently, we were going through IVF with one failed attempt after being 9 weeks along. For me, being vegan has more to do with being healthy than saving the planet, although that's a definite perk. I dropped 30lbs when I went vegan, amped up my energy level and am now working out at least 3-5 times a week. It has become my way of life. Although I will admit, on occasion I have given into the beckoning of goat cheese, cause let's face it, how can you live without goat cheese?
