"for a vegan you're kinda heavy"

Caught your attention didn't it?
I wonder how many think that after I tell em I'm Vegan, because of course us Vegans eat nothing at all but sticks and berries.

It's time to whip my butt (all of it, even that extra bit thats there some how) into shape and really start living properly, not dieting, I don't use that word.
I was wondering if anyone else was feeling extra motivated and ready to make some more awesome changes for 2010?
I ask because I need all the motivation, kicks in the butt, threats etc. possible :P

"for a vegan you're kinda heavy"

not sure if people think that about me but i know i think that about myself :-\

it's all the baking i do! and peanut butter. bowls of peanut butter.  too tasty to give up though ):!!!

You took the words out of my mouth-- including the baking and peanut butter (yuuuum).  Just remind yourself that you're probably living healthier than anyone who may cast judgment and they can suck it  ;)

I think it's good for people to see vegans of all sizes. My boyfriend is incredibly tall and skinny, and he was before he was vegan. But now, all of a sudden, everyone thinks he is malnourished and tells him to eat more/gain weight, whatever. He's incredibly active and healthy, and I think it's condescending for people to try and judge how big he should be.

yeah that's definitely condescending .. our bodies are nobody's business but our own
it totally bugs me that people judge our bodies as vegans based on what they THINK they know about veganism.  oh we don't eat meat or cheese or eggs or milk. what do we eat?!  we must thrive on leaves and twigs from our backyards.  so we must all be skinny malnourished fuckers.  ugh.

that is exactly right, alice.  i'm taking WAY WAY WAY more vitamins than i did as an omni and generally eating much more healthy overall, though i still routinely binge on vegan treats and bake like a mofo ..so skinny is not possible for me. oh well. i work out, eat pretty decently, i'm quite healthy. so any judging omni can suuuuck it indeed!

For a vegan, I feel huge. I'm average but definitely curvy with a bit of a tummy. All the other vegans I know get scoffed at for being too thin. I like being an example that you can be sexy and healthy and vegan! Being a curvy vegan just seems so rebellious, which I do love. As much as abs would be cool, I'm pretty happy with what I have.

I'm looking at your profile pic, and you can shut up!  :) You look fabulous, and don't let anyone tell you any differently!

you look great!
you're curvy as in you have boobs, a waist and hips.  i have two definitions of curvy in my head .. the one i know to be true (thin but with CURVES!!) and being obese as in what america tells me. you're the first of course ;D

I've noticed this too! Actually curvy women have almost lost the title curvy, because now morbidly obese people use it. Kim Kardashian is curvy (and hottttt). The people I see at the grocery store on the rascal scooters: Not.
