But, you have you ever thought of trying Carmex in place of chapstick? I think it works just as well.<br /><br />Secondly. I thought of you the other day. I was watching Good Morning, America, I believe, and they had a whole segment on Vegan eating and they made recipes! I thought of you. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799219709260026675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430710620771859354.post-45001223858455677582011-03-23T18:14:39.997-07:002011-03-23T18:14:39.997-07:00:D Thanks for the encouragement, everybody!

It's pretty inspiring how much drive and motivation you can draw from yourself. I applaud you for this entry and everyone up to this point. If I ever started to get sick, I'd undoubtedly back off the vegan lifestyle. Your commitment to a healthier life is kryptonian (superman reference). I look forward to reading more about your on-going journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430710620771859354.post-51844678459583570942011-03-21T08:50:13.760-07:002011-03-21T08:50:13.760-07:00I never gave any thought about what makes up my be...I never gave any thought about what makes up my best friend- carmex. If someone told me I had to use another brand I'd probably have icky chapped lips forever. I did take my tube out of my pocket and look at the ingredients- Beeswax is at the top of the list for 'Inactive ingredients'. I guess it's just for texture and substance than for actual 'healing'- but just the same vegans can't use it. Good luck in your quest. I hope you find an even better chapstick! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430710620771859354.post-41056509586475197232011-03-21T08:39:56.907-07:002011-03-21T08:39:56.907-07:00Warning: this is completely irrelevant to your bl...Warning: this is completely irrelevant to your blog.

Minty does seem more appropriate. It's like at the dentist when they're putting the fluoride gunk on your teeth and they ask you what flavor. I always go with mint because it's a clean feeling, unlike Strawberry or Marshmallow. Also, the fruity ones make me sick to my stomach.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262035490634760842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430710620771859354.post-19098750765011526162011-03-21T06:35:14.170-07:002011-03-21T06:35:14.170-07:00Paige, you're right.

I think it's easier for me because I've gone through periods of extreme deprivation in my life before, so this doesn't seem as bad. It's like the universe was preparing me for this leg of my journey, haha. And I don't want to sound elitist or to belittle anybody. All I want to do is point out that "difficult, but possible" distinction, so I thank you for saying that. :)jepascoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161172893722574799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430710620771859354.post-79948938261792412822011-03-21T05:58:02.746-07:002011-03-21T05:58:02.746-07:00I think it's all about willpower. It's no...I think it's all about willpower. It's not that you enjoyed Burt or those yummy chips less than other people, it's just that you had motivation to give them up, and willpower to follow through. I think whenever people say "I could never do that," they really mean "I would never want to do that." What you've managed to do throughout your project is make this distinction for us--that it's difficult, but possible.<br /><br />Thanks. :)Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066216181515622937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430710620771859354.post-284516522686381782011-03-20T20:23:39.706-07:002011-03-20T20:23:39.706-07:00Victoria, thank you so much!

Is it easier to bid Burt and his Bees adieu knowing they're now in the grip of a corporate giant?<br />I am so proud of how you're sticking to the principles of your new lifestyle. When I read what you wrote about people who say they admire you for going vegan but could never do it themselves, well, I resemble that remark<br />Best of luck in the minty lip balm quest. I'll keep my eyes peeled.<br />Love,<br />MomSingle/Sober/Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778728360927656195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430710620771859354.post-7858055740294787682011-03-20T15:23:31.583-07:002011-03-20T15:23:31.583-07:00NO WAY!!!

But like you said "Life will go on" I really love your blog. I think out of most of the blogs, yours is the most inspiring. You have really changed and for the better.
