ok so now i'm shaking

[melissamstanford42]

i'm thinking anexity, i'm not eating enough because of my diet. being vegan is no diary and speacial everything else that uses milk alternatives.

hungry as my diet has hit a rut and i haven't gone full vegan because of the cost and convience. of course i could just buy it but i need the energy of food.

not that i'm giving up just that i'm tired. i know being vegan is in the long run better for me. but fresh fruit and veg, nuts, seeds, and pulses would cost an easy 50£ and i don't want to fad diet. i guess i'm tired of cooking.

and ideas for cooking. i've done some vegan cooking but it takes my energy as in enthasium to make it and i can't do it everyday even with leftovers.

yesterday i ate 12 roles. i'm begining to feel mental over food. esp. as vegan is a choice.

anyway at work now and going home in 10 mins and wandering what i'll eat. probaly pasty or no cheese- cheese. i know its commerical but food affects feelings and veg costs so much to eat compared to ready meals.

its costing me, getting wound up over it. esp. during covid. aswith the food chain affected its harder cost wise for the nation and the providers to make itaffordable for all. and when i have to think about africa or where-ever people are starving and climate change now its getting colder. i worry.

am i doing the right thing is there a bigger picture, do i care?

ps it cake!

Hi eating vegan food is not expensive. Beans, rice, vegetables are very cheap but if you want healthy wholesome food you have to put the effort in and cook it. Which is probably the best thing you can do for your own health. I cook a meal every night and it usually takes 15 mins to prepare and then it cooks in the oven while I do something else. I’ve never been one for ready meals so don’t know what they cost but nutritionally it’s not healthy so if it’s cheap there is probably a reason for that.

Here are some links to vegan meals on a budget. Cooking is all about adapting meals and recipes to what you have available and can afford.
