Q: I became a vegetarian over a month ago and I've been eating much healthier meals and consuming much less calories than I used to, and no I'm not starving myself. But I haven't lost any weight at all? I'm overweight so believe me there's a lot of weight to be lost but why aren't I losing it?
Because becoming a vegetarian ISN'T a form of a diet. It is a lifestyle choice. Not all vegetarians and vegans are skinny. In fact I know an overweight vegan. So if you're using it as a diet... you may find yourself disappointed.

I understand it's not a diet. But did you completely miss the part where I said that I was eating healthier and less than I used to? Thanks for being completely unhelpful.

Hi, thanks for coming to my column.

The name is Diamond but Dia is fine.

20, female, jersey girl at heart. mixed race taurus natured woman.

So...the reason I made this was during the start of my senior year of high school I had reached a point in my life where I didn't want to live anymore. I was tired of fighting and didn't see the reasons to fight. It was a random stranger that made me realize I would be stupid to take my life and to stop fighting.

So if you think I'm going to tell you life gets easier, I'm not. Let's face it, it doesn't get easier. Through pain you get stronger and learn to open your eyes to those things that give you strength to live.

Mine happen to be music, writing, dr. pepper, anime, the color black, the way rain sounds, and an amazing boyfriend. What gives you strength to live?
