I’m going back to plant-based for both health and vanity reasons

The first picture is me four years ago when I ate a 100% plant-based diet. No makeup. I ate a mix of both healthy whole-foods and the occasional “junk food vegan” stuff. My skin was BEAUTIFUL! I NEVER got any pimples, plus health-wise I had SO MUCH ENERGY!!! And happiness. Oh my god I genuinely felt almost godlike it was a euphoric experience. Just two years of pure health, beauty, and happiness. I spent two years plant-based and it was the best decision I had ever made for myself.

The second picture is me now with no makeup. After two years of going back to animal products. A couple years back, I got pregnant and was pressured by everyone to stop eating only plant based. I gave into the pressure. Then, I miscarried and spiraled into a really bad depression. I started eating like crap and never stopped. Now I eat a heavy animal-based diet and well….look what it’s done to my skin. Not just my skin, but my health in general. I’m sluggish, and while I am in the healthy bmi range for my height, I am not visibly fit like I used to be. I’m not flexible like I used to be. I’m just…I’m so unfit, my skin is dull and I’m insecure. My body, my skin, my health, my beauty. It’s all gone down since I’ve stopped eating plant-based.

So, today I’ve made a vow to go back to that wonderful way of eating. Not just way of eating, but way of LIVING! When I was plant-based, I also got into some woo woo hippie spiritual stuff and regardless of what some may believe about that, it really did do wonders for my mental and physical health. Meditation, yoga, dancing, art and plant-based eating were the key to my health back then. I’ve just got to start again. Starting today. Just look at those pictures….there’s a HUGE difference! You can just tell which way of eating and living was better for me….
