I've been overweight all my life. I've been on every diet from the 3 day diet to cabbage soup and everything in between. Last year I moved to a size 24 after being a 22 for 5 years and in December started making little changes. First I gave up soda and I can proudly say since then i've only had 5(diet) sodas since! 2 months ago I stumbled upon a website from PETA about how KFC treats their chickens and I was horrified. Since I've given up meat including chicken and will only eat shrimp or crab("meat" wise.) I eat more veggies and feel healthier. I'm not going to lie...sometimes it is hard and all I want is a cheeseburger but for now I feel like I need to do this to be healthy. It stops me from eating so many bad things! My question is what has anyone else given up and why?
