@ Trixy and Kenzie: Thank you! Both of you! It's really nice of you to say all of that. Although... I admit I haven't stopped with the soy in bread. I haven't seen any piece of bread that doesn't have soy in some form (I'm sure there is, but it would have dairy or something, probably), and since the tiny amount there is in bread hasn't so far had any harmful effects on me, I haven't stopped that. And I had a bit of soy-including food on my birthday, because that was my birthday. However, we do now know almost for sure that having something major like soymilk or soy yogurt makes me feel worse. I'm afraid I might have a sensitivity to it, which could possibly mean that I'd have to stay off of it entirely for... Well, it depends... But it could possibly be forever! I think. I don't know much about sensitivities. Supposedly, they're just like allergies except that they're mild enough that you can have what you're sensitive to every 4 days, but that certainly isn't the case with me at all... I just really hope that I don't need to permanently remove soy from my diet except on birthdays and things, because that would be... very bad. Very, very bad... However, it honestly isn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be, somehow... It's just not being able to have butter that's extremely irritating. Or soymilk. I drank a lot of it. Coconut/almond/rice milk isn't nearly as good... At least I'm allergic to dairy and eggs rather than just having given them up. Otherwise, I might be tempted to just go ahead and eat dairy/eggs. But this way, I can't, or I'd end up in the emergency room, or at least get an extremely sore throat, depending on the amount. So technically, the only way I could stop being vegan would be to stop being vegetarian, and since that's completely out of the question, it somehow feels easier. I guess I'm just used to everything? I've basically always had something I couldn't eat, so one more isn't quite as bad. And I feel a bit odd talking so much about it... I should really be getting to bed now, anyway.

Trixy!! I know I kind of greeted you already on another thread, but....anyway.

It's so great to see you!! I've missed you bunches! I totally understand about the boyfriend thing. Try not to let it get to you, because you're super awesome and strong and all that, and you don't need a guy in your life. Sure, it can be nice, but you'll be just fine without him. If you ever want to talk I'll totally listen :).

I went vegetarian for a while (don't know if I shared that with everyone) and totally thought of you :D But I'm *sob* not one anymore because my parents didn't think it was a good idea, and I wasn't savvy to all the nutrients I needed and stuff and started losing weight scary fast. I'm still a little underweight from it, but I'm doing better. I make sure we only buy organic and free-range though, and don't eat red meats hardly at all. Thanks so much you guys for inspiring me :)

I missed you so much! I love you. :D
