OK,
So there's a poll running about people's BMI in this forum and a few of us are a bit on the cuddly side (though I totally agree with what's been said. It's a scientific fact that BMI is not totally accurate and varies with your frame and build in general.)
Anyway, my question is, if you're vegan and overweight, do you feel guilty? Do you feel that perhaps your not the best advert for the vegan diet given your extra pounds (or stones!!) I'm about 3 stone overweight- calculated by what I was before I put on all this weight- though i'm tall so probably carry it better than most. However, I have bad body image anyway so apart from all the guilt wound up in that, I feel a bit guilty being vegan too. Not that I think vegans should be perfect, but I do believe that a balanced vegan diet is sooooo much healthier than the average diet and I just wish i could physically represent that. I really want to get back to that place where food is normal again and I'm back to a normal weight....and then feel proud to be vegan. *Sigh*
What does anyone else think?
