JackTheKisser Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello all. My friends call me Hope but I accept Faith, Love, Joy or any amalgamation of those, because it seems Hope is pretty tough to remember. *Sarcasm* Anywho, I am 21 years of age and I have been a vegan for a little over a year. Why did I do it you ask? Really, it was because I was so eager for the throngs of questions, such as, "So...you only eat tofu? or, " Man, I tried to be vegan once but I'm allergic to self-richeousness." Not really. But in all seriousness it was not only for the fuzzballs of the planet, but for my body as well. I'm also a total conspiracy-theorist, so you know, that goes hand-in-hand. RIGHT? Let's see. So, some background about myself. I starting playing competitive soccer around the age of 4. Played until I was 16 and then unfortunately had to quit because I also competitively show horses. (WAIT,YOU CAN'T RIDE HORSES, VEGANS DON'T DO THAT!) My horse is now a retired veteran of the show ring and just wanders around all day eating grass and harassing the birds that like to perch on his back. I only casually play soccer now, and I am a full-time student. My work requires I sit in front of a computer for HOURS, which leaves the rest of my free time devoted to studying and homework. However, I still manage to play twice a week and I usually hit the gym at least 3. Sometimes that does not happen, sometimes I go everyday. It really depends on my schedule. My whole life I have been extremely toned and fit. I am only 5'2" so naturally I'm a total troll. When I turned 15 I developed an eating disorder and lost all my amazing muscle AND womanly shape. I had as they call, " A ghetto booty" which I intend to get back if it's the last thing I do. My main fitness goal is to increase my cardio and develop proper eating habits that aid my body in doing what it does best. I have lots of issues to work through, but that's why I joined! Support. And not like a bra...because I totally have the measurements of an altar boy. Goals:Figure out what the heck a proper diet for someone my age, size, and lifestyle should beIBS is a bi&%^, but I'm sure SOMEONE on here has to know how to work around thatFigure out a training schedule that works best with my school schedule.Finally win a round on Call of Duty So. Yeah. I'm sure you're all charmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle.le.disko Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 " Man, I tried to be vegan once but I'm allergic to self-richeousness." Never heard that one, and I've been veg a while! Me oh my. Welcome, Hope! I too lost almost all of my awesome muscle and curves, and I intend to reclaim them! I got very ill when I was 19 and lost a ton of weight. Finally putting the weight back on, I didn't work out or make great eating choices, so I'm currently rocking the "typical vegan" look. I wish you the best. there's a lot of great info/ meal plans/ workout schedules on the main page and in the profiles. That's where I'm getting my info while I wait on Robert's book in the mail.
