Only 2 days left and then I have
to make my decision. With Thanksgiving fast approaching it is
anyone's guess what path I will choose in the road of fatty fatness.
Slay indians and eat turkey or slay indians and eat humus? The
tension is killing me!!

Today I dined as only a royal
bloodline can. I skipped lunch because I was busy at work
and instead feasted upon cheese quesadillas when I got home.
What better to compliment cheese quesadillas than 2 mighty
bowls of Count Chocula. Yes, my friends, I do live the high-life.

That last day of my experiment is finally
here. I was SO freaking tired today I could barely keep
my fat eyelids open, so instead of lunch I went to my car
and slept for an hour. Seriously. For dinner I had artichoke
and mushroom enchiladas, black beans, and rice. It was pretty
good and made a fine "last supper". Plus, my enchiladas
look like Hulk shit and that is just awesome!

Well, the final 2 days are over
and I have successfully managed to make it 30 full days without
ingesting any meat. I don't feel changed at all and I didn't do
it for a noble cause, such as saving the animals, but I did do
it and that is all that matters really. How many of you seriously
thought I would make it? I know I had doubts in myself, but I
knew if I did it for the site I would persevere.
The only thing I have really felt
through this entire experiment is tired. I don't know if it is
lack of meat or what, but I am completely exhausted everyday.
I have also noticed I haven't been sleeping as much either. Maybe
it is my body trying to keep me up at night so I will go out and
hunt down some meaty prey to consume. I don't know. I do know
I average about 5-6 hours of sleep a night when I used to get
8-9. I noticed I was actually crawling into my car a lot during
lunch breaks to sleep instead of read, which is something I never
did when I ate meat. Weird. I thought it might be protein deficiency,
but I ate plenty of trail mix and beans, so maybe it was just
a mental thing.
My weight has been up and down
the entire time I have been a vegetarian. I peaked at 280 and
once dropped to 273.5. My first weigh-in was 277.5 and I averaged
276 for most of the time. I haven't had dramatic weight loss,
nor have I even lost a mere 5 pounds, which sort of surprises
me. I figured I would at least loose 5 pounds, because when have
you ever seen a fat vegetarian? Well, since you saw my photos
now you have.
I have decided to torture myself
1 more month. 1 more month of vegetarianism to see if I actually
do start to lose any weight. I figure this month might have been
a buffer from the previous month where I grabbed a parade of twinkies
like they were tiny Boba-Fetts and shoved them into the Sarlacc
pit I call my mouth. 1 more month isn't going to kill me and I
will document it for the site again for fun. I know you loved
looking at all of the food I consumed in an entire month, who
wouldn't?! This shit is better than Disneyland!

It has been another full week and
I am eating like a herbivore. I have tried to start incorporating
more fresh vegetables and fruits into my diet, but it is hard
being lazy and all.
--------------------------------------
12-1-06
Today my vegetable dreams have
come to a sudden and abrupt end. All this week I have been EXTREMELY
tired. I would come home from work, go straight to bed, sleep
for 2-3 hours, wake up, eat dinner with my wife, stay up for 1
or 2 hours, go back to bed from 8 hours, go to work and start
falling asleep, go out to my car for my lunch break and sleep
for 1 hour, rinse and repeat. This happened all week and I have
no idea the cause. I actually took off work on Thursday just so
I could catch up on sleep and I slept over 12 hours that day.
I have never been so completely
worn out that I would actually go out to my car and slip into
a coma for an hour. This all started happening after I cut meat
out of my diet. Granted I wasn't eating healthy either, but it
seems my body wasn't getting enough meat juice or something to
keep it awake and somewhat 1/2 full of energy. My wife even noticed
her energy level was quite low since she stopped eating so much
meat because I was doing my article. I decided enough was enough
and gorged myself on steak this evening. I do plan to cut fast
food, except for Subway, completely out of my diet and will still
continue to try and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, but
I guess I am more carnivore than herbivore in the end. Wait, I
guess that makes me an omnivore, or a meat whore.
Overall it was a very interesting
experience and not something that everyone can say they have done.
Though it wasn't ultra-hard it did take some planning, poor planning,
but planning none-the-less. I wouldn't do it again because this
last week has really been hell both physically and mentally, but
with a proper balanced vegetarian diet I am sure you could avoid
this peril and pitfall I have succumbed to. Here as a few photos
from my last supper:
This enormous steak was my first
piece of meat in nearly 6 weeks. I had to go out with a bang.
I finished the entire thing and felt much like some sort of meat
eating hero to the other patrons of the restaurant.
I am almost growing fangs as
I sink my fat teeth into this juicy steak. This was my first bite
of fleshy steak love on the road back to hell.

Even though I have started consuming
meat again I thought I would go ahead and keep my weight posted
so everyone can mock me and waddle around. I noticed a sharp decrease
in weight this week, so either the veggie diet really started
working or I just started to drop some pounds because I cut fast
food out of my diet and started eating healthier. I like to think
it is because I have a belly fully of tapeworms I can claim on
my taxes as dependents.

***BONUS CRAP****
It has been 3 weeks since I created
the little demon-seed living on my back porch to this day. Check
out the Frankenstein Taco Bell burrito to see how he is fairing:

***BONUS CRAP**** UPDATE

It appears my little monster I
had living on the back porch has been picked apart by birds and
scattered to the winds. Not much is left of him, save this mangled
piece of flesh, blood, bean, and tortilla huddled outside against
my bedroom wall trying to alert me to its need for protection.
I hope those vulturous fowl choked on his M&M smile...the
filthy bastards!! Destroy my one and only friend and choke on
bite size pieces of chocolate that melt in your mouth, not in
your hand...that is my decree.
