Hello everyone !
My name is Victoria and I am brand new to this site and to veganism. I must admit that this is not my very first attempt at it though, and while it has been a great desire of mine for quite a few years now, I have suffered from binge eating disorder for the last 27 years and those of you who have this subject close to their hearts, know that dietary choices are hugely determined by the need to binge, and those are not always vegan foods.
Anyhow I have managed to sort myself out at long last. It took the long and painful death of my mother in March to light a fire under my ample butt to realize that I had to make life altering changes, as I inherited her diabetes, and that is what killed her, after having it for 13 years.
Today is my 12th binge free day and also my 12th day of being a vegan and I could not be happier ! I have dropped 10 pounds already, my severe cravings for potato chips, simple white carbs and chocolate are gone.
I would like to be part of a community with people who have chosen veganism, as it can be isolating at times, as I know nobody who is vegan, nor anybody who has the remotest interest in becoming one, even though the people in my world are all pet owners and are not cruel people by nature.
Glad to be here !
