Tasha, you are a badass. Far more so than a number of vegans I know (myself, at one time, included) who despite lack of energy and whatever else has come to plague them after abiding by their diet a while (the new inability to take tiny ole me in a fight?), do not see the bigger picture and change their ways. It’s sad. But you! You make me so happy. You prove there is hope!

I admire your bravery for going public with this. I recntly admitted to myself that veganism wasn’t working for me. I run 6-8 miles 6-7 days per week. I don’t really like beans, rice, pasta or meat alternatives. Thus I was trying to sustain myself on vegetables alone. My running was suffering along with my mood. Im back to eating a small amount (1-2 oz) fish most days and equally small amounts of fat free dairy, long with occasional hummus. I am still enjoying experimenting with vegan recipes especially baking so I agree with you that finding where our individual bodies thrive is the Key to success!
