No More Hot dogs!

Here in Spencer they have a yearly event called hot dog days. They offer hot dogs for free and my dad is a big fan of it. He works at Shine Brothers here in town and it gives him something to eat for lunch.
Tonight my sister called me up and says, "Sarah, you better hurry downtown."

"Why?' I asked. "What is going on downtown?"

"Hot dog days!" she answered.

For a moment I could taste the hot dog. I could taste the ketchup, the mustard and the relish. My imagination was having a very nice day dream. Then I remembered-I am going vegan. I CAN NOT touch a hot dog. Like that my imagination stopped working and I felt this deep sadness.

"I am sorry Cassie, I can't!" I told her. Inside I was in mourning.

"One hot dog is not going to hurt you," she told me.

That may be true. However, I still declined. It was very sad. However, it was for the better. I am going vegan starting today. I need to eat healthier so that I can lose the eight pounds through http://www.self.com/ and have a healthy pregnancy. It is for the overall good.

Today was my first test on how seriouse I was about going meat free for the rest of my life. I am kind of surprised that I wanted to eat a hot dog at all. Lately I have been feeling sick when I eat meat. Personally, I wonder if I am going to stick with it. It looks like it is going to be harder then what it first seemed.

Tomarrow, I start taking a calcium and vitamin D suppliment. No more milk or dairy products. I am going to miss milk. However, when I think of the factory farming conditions I know I am doing the right thing. For the good of the cause and the planet! Right?
