When I heard that comment, I thought about the few vegans I knew and most of them tend to be on the too-thin side.
Jane and I are middle-aged and have a bit of the spread going on. We feel a little self-conscious about that when we mention we’re vegan. When we first went vegan we were losing weight effortlessly. However, now that Jane’s been baking and making other desserts, the weight loss has slowed significantly.
Martha – that’s a positive spin if I’ve ever heard one “do I look like I’m starving?”

I agree. I am a fat Vegan and I found that there are plenty of us out there. On one hand it’s beneficial. When people ask me “what do you eat?” I always say “do I look like I’m starving?”
But mostly my weight is a lifelong battle and so being Vegan and trying to loose weight is just as difficult as when I was an omni.

No fat vegans…Ha! I regularly visit on the Weight Watchers vegetarian message board. Believe me, there are plenty of us vegans who are having to learn to make healthy food and activity choices.
