Hello guys, new here!
I am not yet a vegetarian, though that's what I'm aiming for. I'm suffering from depression at the moment, and that proves to make eating healthy immensely difficult, but lately I've been trying VERY hard to eat healthier. Then hopefully I will prove to mum that I can be a healthy vegetarian
Some advice from you guys would be lovely, and very much appreciated!
Hey! being healthy isn't the best part to being vego. With food suiting your morals more, being up to your standard of living. You also feel better as a person!
Being a healthy Vego, is to simply not fall for junk food as a crutch. There are some wild indulgent vego deserts around the place! Have fun with it. Vego/Vega is a whole new world.
I have always hated eating, it has just not interested me... food has always been an obligation to me in my life. I'd dream of being a hermit, living off one type of grain, with food by all means being no main part of my existence.
After getting out of hospital with mild malnutrition and from severe anxiety, I just decided I'd put more effort into doing things MY WAY.
That happened to make me realize, that all the reasons I didn't enjoy eating... were subconsciously the guilt and also the waste of the way in which society is trended.
It was just animals I didn't like being products!
Vega for me has been discovering |FOOD| for the first time as a concept in my life. I love finding new things. The restriction on my diet hasn't given me less to choose from, it has given me sooooo much more... People say "what do you eat" and all they eat is a burger and some fries???? Or a steak or some shnags? Wow such variety.
It is the easy way of living... it is harmful to people who do it wrong...
I mean... I was suffering malnutrition not because "meat is bad for me" but of course I wasn't eating enough of other things.... you can be healthy both ways (ideally, just not in this society where our meat is poisoned by a terrible way of living, bad feed and chemical stimulants)... I just find it more ethically suiting, to seek being a healthy vego....
You just have to eat a range of things to make up for "not having meat"....
Animals might seem lost, stupid or dumb, but humans have put them in cages and wonder why they don't seem intelligent? What can any person do in a prison, they are not capable of escaping... they go crazy about checking everything they eat... but being a community.. people help hold these standards high, so we aren't all alone... in this prison... we are making more beautiful each day, by doing what we are discovering and learning is right, our own way.
Ruminant animals walk around chewing food all day, digesting with multiple stomachs... then when all their work is done converting mere grass and such into more complex things... we eat them as what... take away (quick eateateat! you don't have time before workworkwork... no thanks)... we eat them because WE are lazy, stupid and dumb. lead by our ears.
You've discovered that the world you have been supplied, has not turned out being the best thing for you... it causes anxiety and depression to be doing things that are against your morals... and simply "not knowing"....
This is such an exciting discovery for you! I hope you can approach your obstacles with more confidence in the future and keep trying until you have found the foods that suit you. Not just eat what ever is 'available'. People make beautiful food, don't be fooled...
being healthy isn't the challenge, nor being happy being vego. It is how you go about living, now being informed and knowing what few others do. How to treat them and how to know what is the best way to help them do the right things by themselves.
But first... figure out what you want... and go for it
