go vegan

I’ve been vegan for about ten months now and as I’ve gotten used to the taste of vegetables, foods in general taste better, I like certain foods better than I have before, and I like foods I used to hate. Veganism certainly gives you a new appreciation for food!

Ok my 12-year-old sister informs me that this goal is as good as accomplished, I think it’s time for me to take this off my list so I can add something else. Thanks for the support everyone. I’m really glad I did this.

Today I will have been vegan for a month. I’m amazed at how easy the transition was, I didn’t expect it to be this easy. I don’t crave cheese, one thing I thought would be the hardest. It was like removing a piece of clothing for me. My taste buds are much more sensitive now, and I’m no longer addicted to junk. Ice cream was another thing I thought I could never live without but not only do I like the substitutes better, I don’t eat as much because there isn’t any milk or sugar which is what I was really addicted to. I’ve lost 12 pounds over the last month and my skin is practically flawless. I have more energy, and I’m just happier in general. Who would have ever thought that not eating meat would make you a happier person.
I’m really happy with what this has done to me. I used to tell myself I could never be vegetarian and certainly not vegan (I know now that nearly every one of us have said that at some point in our lives) and now I could never imagine going back. I love this new person I’ve become.

during the first month or so to feel completely nausious for no reason whatsoever? because I’ve been feeling that lately.

So I’ve been basically vegan for about a week now. I say basically because there have been occasions like now, where I’m at Panera Bread using their wi-fi (my dad has yet to hook my computer up to his secured network) and the only option is vegetarian soup, with a little bit of cream in it. I guess I could switch to a side salad. I’m doing well with it though. I haven’t had the typical moodswings/energy drop, or anything else that people have described the first month to me to be like, but it still hasn’t been that long. My dad’s been making a lot of offhand comments and they’ve been getting on my nerves. I don’t know what his problems is, it’s not like I’m trying to convert him or anything, but I do worry about him. Not once in my entire life do I remember him eating veggies, other than if it was on the side of his dish at Applebee’s or or there was lettuce in his taco. I will give him that he does have fruit smoothies for breakfast and he does take supplements to get the vitamins that he doesn’t get from what he eats but I don’t want him getting a heart attack before he turns 45. Why should it bother him what I’m eating anyway? Did anyone else have issues with a lack of support when they gave up meat and any other animal products?

so I’ve been vegetarian for a few weeks now and I’m just starting to go vegan. I tried today but I really need to curb my cheese addiction. Fortunately for me though, I’ve found that I like the taste of the veggie substitutes much better than the meat-based products. My husband is off at basic right now, so it should be much easier for me to switch over to veganism, I’m even surprised I was able to not eat meat around him without being tempted. I’ll see how it goes.

I decided to go vegan because I am 100% convinced that the reason my body systems are so screwed up is because of the hormones, steroids, antibiotics, and other crap pumped into the meat and dairy I’ve been eating for so long. I’ve been married two years, haven’t used any birth control, and I haven’t gotten pregnant yet. We weren’t trying but we weren’t careful either, so you’d think we’d have a surprise by now.
I’m pretty sure it’s going to take me awhile to get there but I’m doing fairly well so far. I’ve been without meat for two days now, although I’ve had more dairy than usual the last couple of days. That’s ok with me though, I barely eat it anymore so I’m sure I’ll be dropping cheese soon (very hard. my biggest weakness. Ughh).
My friend Sara thinks I’m crazy and probably going to starve mys
