Thank you for all the kind words. This helps a lot. And to know that there are people all over the world that stands by you gives such a powerful and warming feeling! Nobody has said anything these few days, I think they just got bored and saw that I won't budge. But again remembered one more...

I live in a post soviet country in a rural area where old traditions are still in place.

One more thing I've noticed - I am never the first one to start these conversations. Nobody at work knew I was vegetarian for 2 years because I never talked about it. When I went vegan I still didn't talk about it. People just started noticing that I am not eating the cake on birthdays and at...

Yes, the health topic is the one I will not be engaging anymore, because it is making things worse. Actually none of the positive aspects of being vegan are good enough for even having a normal conversation with these people. That is very sad actually, I have to listen to their mockery about...

Once I had a conversation with a hunter about meat consumption and he was very against vegetarians and vegans and of course mocked me. I asked him why does he think we need to consume meat. He told me that he better not answer because he is not a nutritionist although seconds ago he told me how...

No, I really like my job and in other workplaces I would have the same situation (already had 2 different jobs before where being vegan was considered extreme, I was omni then). Outside of lunch these topics are not discussed. Where I live being vegan is very rare, I've never met any vegan or...

HR were already there. I live in a country where bullying doesn't matter. I can only sit and listen, because they are not interested in facts and logic. I remember one time I was with 3 of my aquaintances and they started mocking vegans about their dietery choices, how silly vegans were. And...

Everyday struggle-People laughing/being angry with you by being vegan I find this so odd. The other day I had a lunch with about 40 of my coworkers. And this woman strarted commenting on my dietery choices. She told be how I will not be able to function today if I don't have the pig pattie and...

I keep going back to cheese and a dairy drink that is popular in slavic countries. It is called kefir in my country, but don't know if it has the same name internationally. I have tried many alternatives as I cook a lot at home, like to experiment and I am very good at cooking. I have made many...

Hey, everybody! I am putting this thread under "Health" topic as this is related to both mental and physical health. I've been yo-yo-ing between vegan and vegetarian diets for quite a while and have come to a realization that vegetarianism is the toxic ex to who I am always going back to. It is...

Regarding the comfort - I am escaping the past. Childhood wasn't easy at all. And I had depression for about 10 years. I know this is something to be treated, but if food makes me happy, then I cannot seem to find issue with it at all..well, until now. This thread turned a bit more darker than...

I do eat a lot of fruits and veggies. My three daily meals are full of nutrients, completely thought thru. I think my issue is not physical. I don't even trust myself if the hunger is real. It is just comfort. Escape from stress, escape from people.

I always looked at it as just a bad habit. But if this sounds similar to some kind of eating disorder pattern, then that is concerning. Eating does make me feel better. I have this warm, fuzzy feeling inside that nothing else gives me. Also my past self deserves food. I grew up in poverty...

Yes. But unfortunately this is not working for me. I plan meals for every day. I make it, I eat it all. And it is a lot of food. Around 2500 kcal of filling vegan food. For example my lunch was huge bowl of barley with mushrooms and courgette. But I want more, I am hungry...and I just made a...

Hi, everyone! Any suggestions for a hard time, when the only comfort for me is junk food, but I am rapidly gaining weight and must avoid that?

Hmm, interesting, I will take a look!

I've done lots of tests in the past due to digestive issues, the only thing that came up was lactose intolerance.

I think my questions were misunderstood. I was wondering why the only food I could eat while with a fever was plants although I was a meateater at the time. I loved meat, but when sick, I couldn't even eat it, was nauseous just by the thought of it. But I could eat anything else if it was plant...

I am now sitting at home with a high fewer. I have no appetite at all, that almost never happens to me. The only thing I could eat today was an apple and 1/10 of iceberg lettuce. Then I started to wonder... I used to be a very ill kid. I had strep throat about 4 times a year, I had kidney issues...
