I totally understand the plight of a vegan plus size woman because I am her. She is me. We are thee!
There's secret judging (but never out loud) by your own community that think "she can't possibly be vegan". Then, there's the banter from your family and friends, "...but don't you miss chicken?" As if chicken is a person! Additionally, there's the "I could NEVER go without cheese" commentators. Lastly, there's the internal judging and wondering if you are making the right decision because you are new to veganism and let's face it, you may be hungry (as a mug).
Here are the facts:
1. They are going to judge you anyway...no matter what! If you aren't being talked about, you aren't making waves and your life is probably boring as hell!
2. You're hungry because you don't know what to eat to sustain yourself. I can help you with that. It's hard to go it alone and luckily, this Plus Sized and Plant Passionate Vegan has got your back!
3. You've never let other people's comments stop you before so why now? Don't allow their insecurity affect your health any longer. A lot of us are overweight because we have been holding on to other people's crap for so long. Allow yourself to be free and to cling to the best lifestyle on the PLANeT - all fresh (except for the occasional cookie), bright, beaming and life-giving produce, whole grains, nuts, seeds and delicious herbs and spices. Ooooh, sign me up!
