Hello, my name's Jimmy, I'm from Texas, i now live in southern Missouri. I used to be a vegitarian back when I was 16-18, then after peerpressure (my new friends thought I was a weirdo because I was a vegitarian) I started to eat meat, burgers, steak, you know.
I'm 23 now, going to 24 I'm sooo outta shape, I wiegh 250-260 at 5' 10", my back and joints hurt, I have asthma, I'm very sluggish and it seems like I can never get enough sleep. Do to my being outta shape and stuff, I'm suffering emotionally from being single, I'm too fat for any woman to find me attractive, I've been rejected so much by women I've become sorta jaded towards them. I don't really blame them for not wanting to be with a fat outta shape guy though, I mean I would sorta feel the same way if the shoe was on the other foot.
Back when I was a vegitarian I used to be in tip top shape, full of energy and hardly ever got sick and I did'nt have asthma!
I'm going to try and go back to being non-carnivorous, but instead of just being vegitarian, I'm going to go a step further and become a raw vegan. I hope to learn a lot and become healthier and happier in life with this life change.
Just to let you guys know, I'm a Christian Fudamentalist, that means (to me at least), that I believe in the fundamentals of what Yeshua (Jesus's original hebrew name)taught, to love each other with the same amount of love we have for ourselves, that violence does'nt make things better, but love and forgiveness does. Those are the fundamentals of my religion, I'm well versed in the more complex things though, after all I am a preacher's kid. Being a Christian is actually what first got me into this lifestyle though. In the Bible it says that God made man vegitarian (raw vegan actually), then later on 9after the flood), man started to eat meat, he started to live a shorter life after than. So as a teen I thought to myself, "Why don't I just try and become a vegitarian, since that's how God originally designed us.". So I beame one, healthiest three years of my life. I'm not too keen on many more verses other than what's in Genesis about veganism though. And don't worry folks, I'm a rather tolerant guy, I won't shove my beliefs down anyones throat. My job is not to make you believe as I do, all I can do is live my beliefs in hopes that you will see my testimony, you make a descision on what you believe in, if you choose to believe in anything or nothing at all.
Well I'm going to try and make sort of a video diary of my progress, I hope to lose about 100 pounds.
Hope I can be a good helpful member of this community :)
