I miss a lot of my old comfort foods, like scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch, then a burger and fries for dinner, with cheesecake for dessert. Sometimes I miss those things, BUT I don’t miss all the extra weight I used to carry.

In a few days I’ll celebrate my 70th birthday. Fifteen years ago, when I was still dining out at restaurants quite often and eating whatever made me feel good for the moment, I weighed about 60 pounds (27 kg) more than I do now. I was overweight, unhealthy, and unhappy.

Since then, by adopting a (mostly) vegan diet and getting regular vigorous exercise, I’ve reached an optimal weight and I feel wonderful — physically, mentally, and emotionally. So, even though I sometimes do miss those old comfort foods, I’m really glad they are now only a memory and not a daily habit.

@breadandcircuses I hear ya. I adopted a vegan diet about a year ago due to a health scare with my heart. Feel better in general, but I miss the harmful comfort foods as well. Though I gripe a lot about the limitations, I need to continue eating this way to reduce my chances of (or delay) another life threatening event. My choice.
