april j: Wow! You look amazing. I haven't seen you since last year but you look phenomenal. Congratulations!xoxoPS-I just submitted your blog to a vegan forum for best blogs :)
les: Congratulations! Be proud and thankful for the journey you are on.
Nutmeg: I will like for you to come to NYC VegFest on Sunday, Oct. 11 from 12-6pm @ Tompkins Square Park.
amanda: I'm responding to the shitty things people said about you. Those people don't understand that there is natural variation in the human form and a person's body fat ratio has nothing to do with her heart, mind, or beauty and sexuality. It's a cultural problem that objectifies all of us and turns insecure individuals against people who are happy with themselves. I think you look beautiful and happy before your weight loss and after.
Tris: I am so excited that you did it...you lost all that weight. I too am not your typical vegan. A guy the other day asked how come I have so much muscle and definition. I told him, there is so much more than just fruits & veggies. You look AWESOME!!! I'm inspired.
eumaledictio: Come back to your blog! Last post is nearing a year ago.
Nutmeg: You look great.

Lyn Rose: Great blog! You are a beautiful vegan.
juliet: You are incredibly brave for having posted this journey online, no matter what these anonymous assailants say. You are beautiful as you are, and you give me hope for my own struggles and journey with weight and food, and all the craziness. Thank you so much for doing this. It's an incredible help to me, and others like me. Bless you. And even bless the assailants; I hope someday soon they have enough love and respect for themselves to be able to be kind to others.
Laura: I think you should change your blog and stop calling yourself the fat vegan. You are not fat. You are beautiful and thank you for the inspiration. I was a vegan about 8 yrs ago and lost 100 lbs. I started eating meat again and have gained it all back. I was thinking about going vegan again and you have inspired me!Thanks!
RACHEL HALE: dont pay attention to those nasty people sending you emails..they are just ignorant! Congrats on your weight loss! You should be SOOO proud of yourself!
Jessica: this is such an inspiration to people! can't wait to check out your vegan recipes and try some out!

Guilty holiday eating does not always equal candy and cake.

  • Mood:
  • Music:

As 2008 approaches, I want to make the assertion that I haven’t fallen off of the face of the planet. For some of you that is good news. For others, maybe not so much. 

 

I haven’t come up with any new recipes recently. When “holiday season” hits, I get very happy, but part of me also wants to die just a little. Any of you with perfect families and stress-free holidays can simply bite me. Trying to devise something brand new that tastes good between Thanksgiving and New Year’s while attempting to field some 500 phone calls a day from my mother would be purely masochistic. Aside from what you may have heard in careless whispers or seen written on a skankalicious bathroom wall, I am not quite that addicted to pain.

 

Really, though, I sort of miss real food. Some people know that the holidays are here by looking out the window and seeing blinking lights haphazardly thrown on bushes and windows. Some people know by going to the store and hearing those everlasting Salvation Army bells. Some people know by turning on the television and being scolded by every last network that diamonds are the only thing people want for Christmas. But how do I know the holidays are here? I know the holidays are here because I can eat 47 pitas with a pound of store-bought hummus or leftover tortilla chips from Chipotle dipped in brown gravy for dinner, and think absolutely nothing of it.

  

Well, of course my phone is calling my name and I will have to be going soon. It is my mother, of course, but it’s not holiday related. This time she wants to know if I’d be terribly hurt if she chose a picture for her “parent album” from my brother’s wedding that didn’t include my husband. Did that confuse you? Great! It confused me, too. This is the same person who calls to tell me she can’t talk right now, so don’t read into things too much.

 

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Do we have the same mother? I really thought mine was the only one who called so much . . .
