So last night I decided to go do a 5k with my friend Sarah. The husband was sick and I needed to get away for a while. Anyway, afterwards your bracelet entitled you to a chili cook off sample(s). (you see where I am going with this...right?)
So booth after booth, no vegetarian chili. I had some crackers and such (ok I admit, I had two tiny cubes of cheese, but believe me, the guilt and self flagellation the ensued about this for the next few hours was quite enough punishment) .
About 50 booths later, I see the Brevard vegan alliance representing. I say a silent prayer of thanks, and wave my arms in jubilation shouting my peeps!! (yes I did...I was delusional from hunger) The lady looked at me and said, Oh I am so sorry, we just gave our last sample away. (I shed a tear here or two....) She did offer me some cole slaw. I asked for two tiny Dixie cups instead of one...
Outings are my biggest challenge right now. When I get hungry, I slip. Mind you, I am still 90% vegan right now, but I see room for improvement. Much room. Dealing with situations like this is one area I need to improve upon. the only way I can see dealing with this is (again) to carry my own food with me.
On a positive note, I met the people at the Brevard Vegan alliance and there was one very nice guy there who actually seemed to listen when I babbled on about every single vegan recipe I have tried lately. I think I was a little "over zealous" maybe? LOL Like when a person changes religion, lets say, or joins a certain cause...they are going at 110 miles per hour . But maybe I should just blame that on low blood sugar. lol
