Losing
Weight
I have been vegan for a year, and in that time I have
lost fifteen pounds. I feel great, look great and know
what I'm doing is healthy, ethical, and safe for the
environment. But now I could actually stand to gain
some weight. The media would do everyone a favor if
they would stop promoting thin as the only desirable
attribute of a human being. I got so caught up in trying
to look like Gwyneth Paltrow, Lara Flynn Boyle, or Calista
Flockhart that instead of focusing my skills and ambition
on a beneficial hobby, talent, or organization, I spent
a year focusing just on my weight. Now I'm busy with
getting a job. That's not very easy because of where
I live, but at least I'm doing something besides constantly
worrying about how much I weigh or believing that losing
weight will make me a better person.
