Part 1
This is my story on why I decided to let go of the consumption of meat products all together. I understand that people may not agree and no I did not do this for religious reasons or because a celebrity announced it. My desire was to try something new and try to do something that may even benefit my health that I was struggling with at the time.
A few years ago I was a great consumer of anything that you placed in front of me and I would always try something once. The idea behind this was to leave no stone unturned and to impress my fellow friends and grandmother for cleaning my plate! This was how I decided to eat no matter where I was and this has how I ate regardless of the season. There were times I would consume fast food burgers, chinese take out and fried chicken on the same day without wondering what the side effects would be. I would mainly eat till I was full or until there was nothing left of my purchase. Till one day I started to have small aches with in my stomach lining on a consistent basis and this didn't phase me at first. I then began to feel deeper pains and aches that felt like knots being tightened in my gut with no remorse for my pain threshold. I knew this no longer had to be normal and decided to seek doctors care at a local clinic.
The doctor visits I found out were going to become the normal routine due to the fact I had these pains every single time I ate something. The doctors didn't mind for I left their with new pain and gas medication prescriptions every other month or so. The dosages kept becoming higher and higher until they decided to conduct more test and test for CANCER!! As you know I was not pleased and knew little about cancer and little about the test they were about to conduct on me.
