Hi
I am 25, and I just started my vegan journey one month ago. It is going great!
People say I've jumped from one extreme to another, since i am/was an extreme chocolate addict and never liked food that much.
So obviously i've gained more weight than i should have. And I always knew I had to do something, but I was not ready to do anything before now. I saw one of Freelee's videos and wanted to try it. I always knew a vegan lifestyle was only going to be good for me anyway.
Now I can honestly say, after eating all the carbs from bananas and other fruits, my body nolonger craves chocolate! I wish I knew this sooner :)
So, in 4 weeks I'm down 7 kg (15,4 pounds or 1,1 stone) and feeling stronger and happier than ever. I still have many kiloes to go before i reach my weightgoal.
So it is going great for me but I wanted to join this forum and talk to other vegans and raw-vegans, since I don't know anyone where I am from.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and thank you for accepting me in to this forum :) Have a great day everyone and don't forget to go fruit yourselves!
(Haha I finally got to say that!)

It's not so populated here, so i can go wherever on a bike. But cardrivers here are not used to bikes or motorbikes, so they are likely to hit you if you're not careful.
My waitor yesterday didn't have time to listen to my order, i wanted to say no this and no that. He ran off before I had the chance, oh well...
I've been to Rhodos once, but don't remember much other than being seriously sunburnt in my face :P Too busy for sunlotion. I want to travel more often ^^
Thank you so much! Nice to meet you :)
It is great <3 But it is hard, I know exactly what you mean.
But I am already in love with this lifestyle, I have so much energy and have taken up walking to work, rather than driving. Takes me 40 minutes one way, love it.
Me and my fiance is going to buy a couple of bikes when we can afford it, can't wait!
The restaurants here doesn't even know what vegan means, yesterday i ordered a salad, and had to pick out all the cheese, bread and dressing myself. The rest was good tho.
Maybe I'll find a vegan restaurant if I look harder.
Hope this helps. http://www.happycow.net/
YES! Wow, that actually helped a lot. Thanks a bunch! :)
I don't go out that often, but it's very nice to know there's options out there.
Anytime. Happy to help! :) Btw I'm 25% Norwegian! My grandma had this funny poster that said, "It's hard to be humble ven you're Norwegian!" She always got a kick out that. Is it still common to say, "Uff da" over there?
yeah, I use that term quite often! hehe
Sounds like your grandma is a fun person to be around :)
Awesome. I need to incorporate that expression back into my life.
You betcha! She's an amazing person!
