Hey there everybody, I go by Sirynn or Rynn. It is up to you.
I'm twenty-two, going to be turning twenty-three this year. I was at my heaviest (approx. 136kgs) at twenty. Around the time that I turned twenty-one, I started losing weight up until today. In total, I have lost around 45kgs. Though I lost a substantial amount of weight, I still don't feel healthy. My diet is still full of things that I shouldn't be eating. During all of this time, I also have been struggling with some un-diagnosed and chronic health issues. Recently, a doctor suggested that I try the dairy and possibly meat-free diet. He'd told me about the growth hormones and antibiotics that are often used and how it can actually flare up some of my health problems. This idea didn't frighten me, too terribly, being that I have once tried out the vegan lifestyle. I liked it, but at the time couldn't maintain it. Now, I really think I could. I haven't started yet, because I'm still doing research on how to transition, what to eat, etc. It is definitely important that I step into vegan, healthily.
Anyways! I am really looking for supportive and possibly also vegan friends to chat with, share recipes with, and support. It has been a rough year and I'm starting fresh in all aspects. Friends and all! There's no space for toxic people in my life. (=
Please comment if you've got any good motivational quotes, too please! Everyone loves some positive words! ♥
