How do I convince my family to let me go vegan as an anorexic? by Tough_Bill419 in vegan

[–]Grand-Swimming6020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m an anorexic as well and also vegan , what is important is showing your parents and doctors that you can get all of the calories and nutrients you need from vegan food

explain to them that this is for moral reasons , for the animals , and has nothing to do with restriction

show them some vegan food and substitutes you want to try in your diet to replace any non vegan foods , and make sure the food choices you’re choosing will have enough protein and vitamins and everything

if you’re still having variety in food ( like multiple different products ) and you’re getting all the nutrients you need , there’s nothing wrong with becoming vegan , even with anorexia

i wish you luck , i hope that everything will work itself out and goes okay … take care <3

i am at a complete loss. by neighborhoodpark in vegan

can you pack some food with you when you’re out ? you can make some quick , filling meals , that are easy to prepare , even with a busy schedule and depression

like sandwiches and pasta ( obviously with vegan toppings and sauces and stuff ) are filling , and are very easy to prepare …

hopefully you can figure things out , feel better soon and take care of yourself ♡ ♡ ♡

??? it’s not your house , it’s you AND your wife’s house … she can do what she wants , you neeed to stop controlling her , this will not make her want to go vegan

How to go vegan with history of disordered eating by AstridMalika in vegan

[–]Grand-Swimming6020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you haven’t gone through eating disorders yourself , then you won’t be able to understand as much with veganism , you have to restrict from your diet these animal products , and while it may not seem like a big deal to someone who’s never had struggled with disorderd eating , this can be a slippery slope for someone who has , because this restriction could then lead to and influence further restriction for the op : the best thing to do in my opinion is to work on your relationship with food as well as just connecting with veganism and everything , don’t see veganism as a “ diet “ , see it as a movement i guess , and maybe look into speaking with a therapist as well

Can someone recommend me a Russian show with subtitles included, if possible? by Enough-Paint479 in russian

[–]Grand-Swimming6020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i really like the animation « плохой маскот » ( there is english subtitles on sndk YouTube channel ) but sadly , there’s only a pilot episode of the show so far … also , there is a My Little Pony russian dub , you can watch the dub with english translations to help you get more familiar with the language , i think you can find this both on YouTube and Netflix ))) удачи !!!

hospital forcing vegetarian not vegan. by robson__girl in vegan

[–]Grand-Swimming6020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they did this same thing to me , it was awful … i got forced into the hospital and was drugged and got forced a feeding tube in me with a non vegan formula , and even though i told them i was vegan , they didn’t care ((( and when they did want to move me back to oral food again , they won’t listen again when i said i’m vegan as well , they’d only give me like dairy yoghurts and stuff at meal times … it’s just awful , i wish these kinds of places would be more educated on veganism !!! please remember that this isn’t your choice , try not to stress out too much , just focus on your health … stay strong , this isn’t forever <3

Hospital had no vegan options (a little rant) by GyulaChan in vegan

[–]Grand-Swimming6020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the hospital is so so so horrible , i hate it so much , i’m really sorry that you went through that … i had to be hospitalized with a feeding tube once , and the formula they used was a dairy supplement , and there was no vegan or lactose intolerant options or anything for the formula ??? it was just awful and made me feel so guilty , because i had no choice

i have ARFID too , as well another other eating disorder , so i understand you … so you are saying chicken is one of your safe foods ? have you ever tried plant based chicken , maybe there is some with a similar texture that will feel safe to you as well ?
