hello everyone,
i love how old school this website feels! like the old internet. haven't posted an introduction on a website in so long, i feel old and nostalgic :D
anyway! first of all, I'm not vegan and will most likely never let myself be vegan because I have a history of disordered eating, but I have been reducing my consumption of animal products for quite a while now, and I do want to try to cut *almost* all of them out, with the caveat that I will keep practicing mindful eating and will not put strict expectations on myself. although, i will not discuss anything not plant-based on this forum because i'm really not here to cause drama.
i have a series of health concerns that mean that i need to keep my protein+fat intake a lot higher than average and my carb intake a lot lower than average, which is honestly the reason why i first started eating tofu and other vegan meat replacements, because i don't know how to cook legumes in a way that is palatable to me and i couldn't eat meat for every meal. so one of my newly discovered vegan youtube faves is unnatural vegan, given her... general attitude, and how her nutritional requirements seem to be vaguely similar to mine. and she lead me here!
a little more about myself: i'm a 24 year old woman, i'm southern italian but i'm currently based in scotland, i'm politically very left leaning. i'm a freelance writer + wannabe child psychologist, and some of my hobbies are poetry, music, tv shows and hopefully some day gardening.
i'd say that's all! nice to meet you all and wish me luck on my journey not to hate chickpeas anymore :)
