Watch your wishes!: Just waiting a few more years & changing nothing in your diet will gain you all the weight you're looking for & then, some! Been there, done that. However, given the fact you are vegetarian your best option is get involved with a good exercise training program, eat soy based products for your muscles to utilize. This type of healthy lifestyle change may also help you combat mood swings.
