Content To Be Or Not To Be

Been thinking about body image and health again. I'm in a phase of change right now where I don't feel able to change my diet which relies primarily on carbs. Still vegan though, 95% of the time. My biggest challenge is how to get past the all-or-nothing thinking. I think I should go almost raw, eating primarily fruits & vegetables and if I can't, I might as well not try. Realistically, though, I get to town twice a month to buy fresh fruits & vegetables and I'm working full-time and studying full-time so I don't have the luxury of preparing meals from scratch. I rely a lot on vegenaise sandwiches!

When I do find the time, I would like to slowly develop a cookbook that presents realistic, quick, yet healthy meals for the busy professional. Til then, I think perhaps I'll try to step out of my rut and look online for some ideas of things I can prepare that are simple and yet fun. I love my food and want to enjoy it! Rye crackers with molasses just won't cut it for me!
