Hello! Really hope you can help / offer some advice.. I’ve always felt awful about the animals... & I’ve always battled with my weight... & I suffer from depression (so when I feel uncomfortable in how I look or feel like weight gain is out of my control it brings a huge negative spiral )
Any way.. so I finally decided enough was enough & Iv been fully vegan for almost 2 weeks... Iv been exercising regularly... watching my calories... Iv had the odd blip where I probably are a few too many crisps... but nothing out of the ordinary, overall healthy... Iv not been eating too many processed meals... Iv made things like chickpeas spinach stir fry... if I have pasta it’s a vegetable made one... my weaknesses are crisps & biscuits! But I count the calories.. & according to my fitnesspal I should be losing a lot of weight!
First few days I bloated so much it hurt... but I powered through & now body feels good... & I’m ok with it... but I am gaining so much weight... my tummy is always slightly bloated... I can feel excess fat around arms, shoulders n thighs... I don’t know what to do? Do I start eating less than 1000 calories..? Do I give up a crisp n biscuit (but I love & feel should get treat or do I give up & feel constantly deprived) my clothes are feeling tighter... I hate how I look... I really want to keep this up so I don’t know what’s next? Does anyone have any ideas or tips or similar situations?? Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated x
