Hello! I hope you are all having a nice day/night!
I decided that I would look around for a good Vegetarian/Vegan forum, and this one looked by far the best... so I thought I would check it out!
I want to be 100% vegan, but I have some struggles with it... basically that include stress from family thinking it's extreme/turning down their offers, getting bored with my food, and simply not having enough money and/or motivation to go to the grocery store.
I want to be 100% vegan for the animals first, and my health second.
I suffer from Major Depression (possibly PMDD as well) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder... I definitely notice a HUUUGE difference in my mood when I eat strictly vegan... ESPECIALLY high carb, low fat!
BUT...
I either get bored with my food and can't stomach it... or my menstrual cycle kicks in full force, and I am wanting alllll the wrong things. :/
So, it's a struggle...
I definitely need to lose weight. I weigh around 174 lbs, and I am 5'3", so... not good! Not extremely bad, but definitely not good. u_u
ANYWAY.
I would love to get some motivation and pointers and the like by going through this site.
I basically struggle alone with this. I do not know any IRL vegans/vegetarians... at all... lol
So, I'm hoping that by coming on here, I will no longer struggle alone...
Sorry if a lot of that was hard to understand. x_x My son likes to interrupt me constantly while I type, so I am frequently losing my train of thought... haha
