I have the same type of problem.....I'm a 34" in the waist and a size 48" in the crotch OOOOOHHHH zing!!! THats right..I'll be here all week folks.

LMAO.

I can't imagine how stressful this may be for you. I wish you and your fiance the best and I hope you both stay positive.

Ps. Pepsi is my savior. (:

A lot of people just don't want to know I guess. Or want to care.

And maybe thats why we vegetarians care. Because we know.

I don't know how correct I am in my logic, but I look at it this way: Everyone knows that eating meat isn't ethical. They know how animals are treated in the industry. They only refuse to acknowledge it. So bringing their meat eating habits up into the air just make them feel defensive.

It happens to me all the time. People get pissy. I just decided not to tell people my views unless I'm asked.

I don't know if what I said made sense. I haven't had my coffee, so maybe I'm totally far off.

I just wash them down the drain if I decide I'm not going to eat whole eggs. I had a mentality of not wasting food and it got me severely overweight. Haha. xD

I tried giving them to my dog once, but it gave him horrid gas. NEVER AGAIN.

I loveeee: Bananas, strawberries, pears, peaches, nectarines, oranges, pretty much all fruit, green beans, broccoli, eggplant, all types of lettuce, bean sprouts, zucchini <3, honey nut shredded wheat, soy milk, wheat bread, and I actually loooove tofu.

I hate raw tomatoes as well. And beets.

Not gonna lie, at first all I read was the original topic and said, "Ugh, troll." It does sound like rude joke.

I'm not completely vegan, so maybe my opinion doesn't count. But I'll give it a shot.

Its not that we want the cows to suffer from not taking their milk. We don't want the sheep to die of heat stroke. The issue with wool and milk is that animals tend to be mistreated by the industry for these products. They tend to be kept in horrible conditions, tortured, and not fed much just so we can have their wool and milk, and sometimes they're killed for food after that. THAT is why vegans are against wool and eggs and milk and whatever else.

I honestly didn't think the swallowing was an issue with vegans and I believe that its ridiculous to not swallow because its not vegan. I thought the main problem with animal products was because of the industry and mistreatment of animals. I guess I'm wrong.

I realize that this response probably won't be taken too seriously and I think other vegans refrain from posting because they feel the same way.

This topic is entertaining regardless. (;

Oh I have another one I wanted to share.

Its not exactly funny. More embarrassing, but everyone I know got a kick out of it, so I hope you guys do too.

The other week I was running on the treadmill. The treadmills are right in front of these huge windows and unless you have the blinds drawn, everyone from the outside can see you running. Well, I was running as I normally do and the blinds weren't drawn but I thought I didn't really care who saw me. And also, my gym is also right near a bike shop and a park so a lot of kids pass by. Okay. So this group of like 13 year old boys passed by and this little boy makes it a point to imitate me running. Well, I rolled my eyes but then he put his hands in a cupped fashion over his chest and imitated my boobs bouncing (exaggeratedly) as I ran. His friends laughed and rolled away on their scooters but I was so embarrassed that I couldn't finish my running session. Yeah, they were a bunch of lame little kids but the guys on the treadmill next to me looked over and smirked at me and it made it even more awkward than the little boys pointing my boobs out in the first place.

I don't wear tank tops on the days I run anymore. Haha.

Ew is right.

I think I gagged when I found out that there was gelatin in Poptarts and Altoids.

Ew, can you imagine an Altoid mint in your mouth? You're swishing gelatin around your teeth and tongue. Gross.

I'm a vegetarian and I actually don't miss any meat. I've had dreams where I've been eating chicken or fish but I don't think anything of it. They're just dreams. Sometimes I'll be like "oh, I used to love quarter pounders from Mcdonalds." but I'm not going to RUN IN and have one just because I used to love them.

Think about why you went vegetarian 6 months ago.  I understand you shouldn't deprive yourself of food, but maybe...well, maybe I just don't understand. I think I wouldn't be able to walk into my favorite restaurant and order something chicken off the menu just like that. I'm a really passionate vegetarian so I wouldn't ever just give into my cravings if I had them, but then again, I don't have them. I'm not trying to push vegetarianism on you, but I guess if anything, it'd be awesome if you stuck it out. But hey, to each their own I guess. I wouldn't be saying this to someone who was a carnivore.

Personally, I don't have cravings because I substitute meat for tofu and other meat alternatives. Going vegetarian is not as easy as just cutting out meat. You need to check on your protein and iron levels and your b-12 supplements. But if I do want "meat", I have veggie burgers, veggie hotdogs, veggie sausages etc etc etc and I do all of my own cooking so I don't have to complain about anyone else's. I don't miss actual meat products in the slightest. I don't need meat and I remember constantly why I chose this lifestyle.

Edit: Sorry if this came off as bitchy, I didn't intend for it to come off that way.

I wash my hands a lot lately due to new piercings. But normally, I only wash my hands after the bathroom and before cooking and if I'm working with paints or clays. I really don't feel the need to sanitize everything. Germs are usually the least of my worries to be honest.

Also, I don't get sick too often.

*knocks on wood*

For some reason, its really popular for the guys to wear flip flops at my gym. I almost always see guys working out or walking on the treadmill making that awesome flop flop flop flop sound.

One time I made eye contact with this guy who was wearing flip flops. I thought he was going to ask me something since the eye contact lasted longer than usual. He walks a little and then BAM! Stubs his toe right on the weight he put on the floor. I could tell the guy was pretending it didn't hurt him. I cringed. I actually am cringing right now just thinking about it.

WEAR REAL SHOES, PEOPLE!

What about zipping up a guy's fly for him? Is that weird?

Birth control gives you hormone cycles which result in a withdrawal bleed. This is not the same thing as a real period.

A little bit off topic, I'm sorry, but that statement worries me! I went on birth control at 19 because I never started menstruating by myself, and I've never been underweight. Are the periods I get now not a real period? Or does that only apply to those who have lost their period from being underweight? 

No, the periods you're getting now aren't your real periods.

I'm on nuvaring as well, I'm not underweight and never have been, and I don't get any real periods either.

The same thing goes to everyone on any type of birth control.

No.

Nobody at 105 lbs is fat unless they're 3 feet tall.

Edited to say: You're at a BMI of 18.6 which is actually close to underweight
