I'm a vegetarian for some years, I'll become vegan this year I think
I loveeee being vegetarian, I love animals too much and they use to love me back. They're just too cute!
My health improved a lot since then... My health is somewhat sensible and now it's so rare to get sick, no more stomach or lungs problems I used to have... Although I have some over weight (I'm 8,8 pounds to my normal BMI), which I already had a long time before I became vegetarian, I feel perfectly healthy.
Health improvement was just a bonus, I would do it even if it could harm my health because I just can't see them suffering, they feel as much pain as I do.
So... I hope that at mid summer I will be a skinny vegan hehehe
