I’ve noticed there is a real tendency towards weight obsession in the Vegan blog world. Namely towards rail thinness. The whole “Meat eaters are fat, go vegan” selling point is a popular one. I find this a) a fallacy and b) strange at best, at worst a turn off. Veganism isn’t a just a dietary choice, to me at least, it is a decision to live with as much compassion as we can towards animals. And perhaps sometimes we forget that humans need compassion too. Fat shaming and an obsession with attaining an underweight BMI doesn’t strike me as very kind, to ourselves or each other.  Besides which, it’s attraction not promotion that wins people over, and that whole high school mean girl vibe is just not a good look.

Truth spoken here! Veganism is not a way to lose weight. If that’s your motivation, you’re a strict vegetarian, not a vegan. 

I’ve been vegan for 3 months now and I really didn’t expect to loose weight, but I did and I am. I’m unhappy about it!!! And there’s no one to talk to, no one around who could possibly understand. I didn’t go vegan to get skinny but I’m getting skinny and I don’t recognize my own body. I miss my curves but at the same time I realize I was sustaining those curves by harming animals. I don’t feel the same in my clothes and my sensation of touch is even changing and it’s all really hard for me to wrap my head around. I love eating grains, fruits, veg, nuts and seeds and only grains, fruits, veg, nuts and seeds, and I wish it could just stay at that. I’m thinking of telling people I have some wierd allergy, people leave you alone about your dietary choices when they think you have an allergy. 3 months in and I’m sick of talking about it, but my choice is firm: I’m vegan and this is vegan life now.
