I guess I'm the first vegan vampire there is.  :)  Sounds like the makings for a good comedy.

 Haha. That was awesomely funny! :D

Kind of. Generally, I'll eat anything vegan that is healthy. But I have a tendency to be really weird about food. I'm a health nut and try to stay away from high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, ect. I'm very particular of what I allow inside of my body. So, yes, I probably am a little picky. :p

I do cardio everyday. As long as you're not overworking yourself, you should be fine. :)

I'd like to join your support group. I'm 17 years old and 5'10 and a half and weigh 165 pounds. Techically, I'm not overweight, but I fear I will be if I keep eating as much as I have been these last few days. I'm much more consistant with exercising. Everyday, I do 30-60 minutes of cardio as well as 80 reps of weight training. I need to develop specific goals for my eating habits as they have gotten out of control lately. However, my issue is that I can't be too strict because I don't want to fall back into anorexia. I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible. So sometimes I eat too much in order to rebel against my mind. However, if I continue to do so, I will get fat someday. And I can't let myself become overweight again.

Any suggestions for a healthy eating plan would be fantastic. Note: I am vegan. :)

There is a big, long history to my weight obssession and it started in 5th grade. I was slightly overweight and my peers either treated me like crap, ignored me or made fun of me. Ever since then I've had this consuming fear of becoming overweight, to the point where I've done drastic things in order to prevent it from happening. This has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I starved myself before I knew what anorexia was; for the longest time I thought I was a freak because everyone else seemed to eat much more than me. I'm better now and at a healthy weight, but it has gotten pretty bad in the past (I once lost 60 in a little over 3 months and became 20 pounds underweight for my height). I've also had a problem with compulsive exercise, which is something that seems to be getting worse. I'm working on developing a healthier mindset and being less obssessive about food, weight, and control. 

Best brand ever. I could LIVE off that food. :D

Interesting question. I've never thought about that before...

Am I only one here who thinks 2-3 hours of cardio is normal for a day? I mean, it's a little high and it's more than the average person does, but it doesn't seem that excessive to me.

Thanks everybody for the encouragement and the suggestions! My weight is starting to regulate itself now. Today I weighed 163.4. :)

I know this is off topic, but why do I keep seeing posts with an "*" to replace the "a" in the word vegan?

I was kind of wondering the same thing. How many more calories are we supposed be be comsuming when we add more exercize?

Awesome! Thanks! I'm already a very healthy eater (vegan), but i might have to cut down on carbs a bit.

(By the way, in my last post I mean't "decrease" not "degree." I went back and fixed my error. Man, I'm retarded.) :p
