....it looks like I have to start eating meat again.
Yeah, I know. You all care so very much.
Since I went vegan, and then switched to vegetarian on my doctor's advice, I've been feeling weaker and weaker. For months, I've been going through celiac message boards and websites, seeing if anyone's been able to handle both diets. So far, no one has. At least not that I've seen. On top of that, I already have incredibly low iron, which causes me to faint now and again. With my gluten intolerance....I'm pretty fucked, actually. I was going to keep going with it, but it's gotten worse the last couple weeks. I've been eating TONS, but I'm still losing weight and a bunch of muscle mass. And while losing a few pounds would definitely not be a bad thing, I want to do it safely.
I'm posting this here, and on my myspace, because I'm asking you guys to be really nice about this. Please. Please don't be assholes and make fun of me or say stupid shit if you see me pick up a burger or something. I'm not completely comfortable with this on an ethical level, so if you could be understanding, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
