About Me: I drink too much black coffee. I'm always sewing so I rarely go out. I eat too much peanut butter and french bread (but not at the same time). I love driving and getting lost. I choose not to surround myself with people who make me feel bad for whatever reason. I have tattoos. People tell me I've destroyed my body... I kind of just laugh. I'm a hypochondriac. I bite my lip when nervous. I talk in my sleep most nights.
How I became a veggie: It's bizare. I tried being vegetarian last year and only lasted for a couple days before I went back to meat. I thought I couldn't do this because I have hypoglycemia and need meat protein or I get sick. I never believed in veganism because I felt many people did it for all the wrong reasons. Like trying to fit in and be cool. I was unhealthy, I didn't like the weight I was at, and I had little to no energy. I just talked to my vegan friends about their lifestyle. How they felt, what it improved, what they struggled with, etc. I decided to do it... thinking I wouldnt last with such a lack of protein.
BUT, I did last. I found substitutes for everything. I never knew how many different protein sources there were other than meat. I feel so much better about myself, my energy is a lot better, and I rarely feel sick from eating... because im not eating crap anymore! To me, being vegan is so much easier and healthier and a better choice for me than being vegetarian.
