It is the only way for me to be content with my choices. Veganism is so wonderful for so many different reasons!
How to go vegan and STAY vegan
It made me
healthy 
"It's easy if you're truly passionate about animals, environment, and/or health."
How I did it: I had been vegetarian since elementary school, so it was a huge transition to vegan. When I first decided to become vegan, I checked out lots of vegan cookbooks and tried tons new recipes.
Lessons & tips: Having an open mind about food will take you a long way. Don't be
afraid to try new foods and be creative. And don't think that becoming vegan means "giving somthing up". I feel that my diet as a vegan
is far more varied than it ever was before, both as a meat-eater and a
vegetarian.

I’ve been vegetarian for about 6 years and i was a vegan for 2 but for this year “some reason” (munchies) i started eating dairy and eggs. I felt so much cleaner and better about myself when I was a vegan. As an animal lover it’s hard not to see myself as a hypocrite…

2 goals in 1

I went vegan, remained so strictly for at least a half year, then with the winter blues I slipped (snuck some dairy, ick—I’m lactose intolerant, so when I wandered from veganism to vegetarianism I paid for it in guilt and pain!), and am now going back to veganism. My other goal is to cook more often, which is definitely more easily motivated by a vegan diet, woo.
Pretty simple meal, but it was wonderful. Courtesy of the Vegan Dad blog, I whipped up his recipes for roasted corn guacamole (which I used on my veg burger along with tomato) and sweet potato fries. I didn’t have the right type of pan for roasting the corn and onions properly, so they were more sauteed than anything, but it was a great recipe (the fam, including omnis, polished the rest off with chips), as were the fries.
I also made Isa’s Vanilla Yogurt Pound Cake from Veganomicon, and made a strawberry garnish to go with it. Also wonderful.
I am no photographer so I chose the pound cake since I though the pic turned out better. :)
