Learning to be a different person...

Stoping was on of the hardest things I have ever done. I stopped cold turkey too. April will be a year since I ate anything that had any kind of dairy in it at all. Let me tell you what this entitles. Its A LOT harder than you would have thought it to be. First of all, me and milk, we were in a very serious relationship, I was completely in love with it, apparently it didn't feel the same way. My life completely changed that day, milk is in EVERYTHING!! You always have to be checking and double checking because a lot of things people don't think of or don't even realize would indeed have milk in it. Butter for one. We have to make sure that people don't cook their steaks, hamburgers, buns, vegetables, etc are not cooked in butter. The other main one is bread. Everywhere I go, everything I eat I have to make sure that the bread does not have milk in it. Or that the batter the chicken nuggets are dipped in does not. Mayonnaise, this one may seem kind of weird but their are mayonnaise out there that are actually made with a butter milk, I have to ask every time. Almost all seasoning packets will have milk in them. Italian food is 98% of the time really nasty without cheese or some kind of cream in them. Sweets are another story altogether, I have yet to find a doughnut that doesn't have milk in it, cookies are impossible, ditto cakes and pies, and then there's CHOCOLATE!!!! I have found very few chocolates that don't have milk in them. I can eat most brownies which is nice and Oreos are the best invention ever. That's right Oreos don't have milk in them. And were not even gonna mention Ice cream. Anyways I have to go to class, I'll talk to you all later!
