Hi everyone!!
I joined this forum last year as a vegan but am ashamed to say that my efforts didn't last more than 5 months. I've tried again, countless times but haven't done my best (obviously) until now.
I am on DAY #3 again and feeling great in both body and mind.
I've been a vegetarian for almost 16 years now so why is being a vegan so much more difficult for me?
I know what my problem is and it lies in the one and only: cheese.
I can abstain at home- I never buy cheese or dairy products for the house and make sure my soy products and bread are dairy free, but when I am out with my boyfriend and we are having a couple drinks at the local establishment I tend to lose all willpower and forget why I became vegan in the first place. My biggest downfall is pizza, which at this rate I am eating once a week.
Some of you will probably find this insulting but it's the truth. I honestly thing it's a matter of addiction- could this be true? Is cheese really addicting or is it all in my head?
I want to be strong. I want to be a better person and not contribute to the suffering of animals but for some reason I have had a hard time sticking to my guns.
Do many of you date vegans as well? If not, how do you get past the hurdle of dating a cheese lover?
I know, in the end, if it really means that much to me I can and will do this.
I owe it to myself and to the beautiful animals of the world.
No more excuses. Right?
Hope you are all doing well,
Karma
