Most Extensive (and tastylicious) Vegan Website Yet!

http://www.neverhomemaker.com/

I'm very, very excited to try basically EVERYTHING on this site.
French Toast
French Onion Soup
Cupcakes
Stir-fry....
I could go on for days! :)
My mom still doesn't see the point of being a vegan. Therefore, it'll be a while before I go whole-hog vegan (pun intended) but for the most part, it shouldn't be too hard. My friends are behind me save the fact they aren't giving up their bacon!

Pictures, stories, and videos to come!!

Guess Who's Back (on a brand new track..)

What, you don't listen to Cascada?

Ok, well it's been since January, and I haven't made any real progress. I think I've made a career of jumping on and off bandwagons. I found these two really great websites that are slowly helping me become a whole person. One is about being raw vegan and the other is about Zen living. Instead of just a health haul, I've decided to get EVERYTHING in order before I reach adulthood... *real* adulthood, anyway.

There was a swing dance at the college tonight, and (aside from my mom stopping me) I didn't go because I didn't want anyone to make fun of the fat girl trying to dance with everyone else. I love dancing. Swing, Jive, and Lindy especially, but I didn't go because of my self esteem issues. This is the last straw, I refuse to keep missing out on things I want to do just because I'm insecure.

Tomorrow is Wednesday, an odd time to start anything major, but I can't put it off till next week, because I'll quit again. So, I'll tell report what happens tomorrow, but the idea is to get up early, run/walk, and eat oatmeal for breakfast.

Thanks for reading, leave a comment!

To Veg or not to Veg...




Animal cruelty is terrible, but the other arguments is what gets me! Responsibility: Pass it on.
There's nothing quite like the smell of a fresh blog with my tea in the morning.

Hi, I'm Lindsey, and I'm morbidly obese :)  I live in Mississippi, where the state bird is fried chicken (no, actually it's the Mockingbird, but KFC extra-crispy is a close second)

This page is about starting over and sticking to what I know best: food. Today I set forth on a lifelong journey towards health and wellness <finally!> and I want to bring you along for the ride! The quest begins with a 36 hour water-only fast to kick off a vegan, eventually raw vegan, lifestyle change.

My Stats
Age: 19
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 261.5  (OHMYGAWD!!!)

I realize how nauseating that is, trust me, I look at it everyday; but that's why we're here, because I'm changing things once and for all! I'll be posing pictures (but no befores until the afters don't make small children cry) recipes, rants, and the occasional non-health related article.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and support in and follow me on twitter @love_546!

But please, no negativity :)

Blessings!
Lindsey B.
