I finally did it. About a week ago I just made up my mind that I was going to stop eating my animal friends, and I have been going strong ever since. At meals where there is meat I simply don't take any meat, my family has started to catch on so they are starting to prepare things meat free...

Well, so far I seem to be doing better than I thought I could. I have gone from eating fast food sausage biscuits in the morning to eating either cereal with almond milk, or a veggie omelet. I mostly manage to stay meat free through lunch, but I still need to work on de-meating supper. All in...

That is highly possible. I've started to sort of mourn if I eat a hamburger, or steak.

They had upped my meds that week, and it turns out, that was probably the cause of the lethargy, irritability, etc. As soon as my meds are straightened out I may give this another go.

I'm not too familiar with the concept of "porridge", lol. How would a bowl of cereal with almond milk, accompanied by a protein shake do?

So the past couple of weeks I had been trying to transition for the second time. I was eating cereal with almond milk and potato burritos for breakfast. This produced some unforseen results. I found myself dropping off at numerous times of the day, my skin looked pale, and my energy levels...

I think my palette is starting to change. For the first time ever, today, I tried to eat meat and I couldn't. It didn't taste like it used to, it was almost rubbery. It was so bad I couldn't eat it. Am I starting to switch over, or is it my imagination?

Ok, so my first time I tried going vegan I fell off the wagon. I think that was because of lack of planning/knowledge. I have talked with friends, and they are going to help me plan out an animal free diet, I feel like this could work out this time. Ya'll wish me luck.

It's been awhile since I last posted on here, so I'll catch ya'll up. I want to go vegan for moral and environmental reasons. I tried it for awhile several months ago, but being in texas, and living in a family that doesn't get it, I am sad to say that I have failed. I have become a carnivore...

Nobody said it would be easy.:) I guess that's what makes it worth it.:)

It'll be awhile, but I may try that. It would be a lot easier to leave in dairy products for awhile. Another issue that I have is that I'm a weightlifter, so I "need" extra protein.

Before I try to tackle this again, I may need some advice on handling family members. I tried explaining to my dad about why I was going vegan, and the only thing he could say was that the meat industry was way too big for my actions to make a difference.:(

A lot of things. Low energy, inconvenience at restaurants and family meals, hard to find vegan friendly foods where I live.....need I go on? I'm thinking I may try again at a time when I'm better prepared and informed.

Ugh, I hate to have to admit this, but I have fallen off the wagon. I'm not sure if I just jumped into all this too fast, or if I just needed to do more research, or what. I'm hoping some day I can get back on track.:(

I'll be honest, I was concerned at how I was going to make it through the holidays. But after this, I'm feeling a lot better. I forgoed the ham, turkey, and anything else animal related, and still had a great holiday, even with the few little jabs at my lifestyle from my brother. I never...

Well, I just got thru my first day as an "almost" vegan. Last night, a little bit of fish was all the meat I had all day. I'm still wondering how I'll get leather-free shoes though.

Awesome, count me in on this contest.

I think I may be ready to go further into this thing. I eat plenty of almonds a day, so that should cover my calcium, and I've started looking into a lucein supplement. Plus, I've been looking at vegan shoes, clothing, etc. for the whole lifestyle. I did try Morning Star Farms sausage for...

Well, so far I think things are going pretty well. Thanks to discovering almond milk, I've managed to cut out animal products from at least 2 meals per day. On top of that, I've stopped drinking sodas, and I've never felt better:)

I was wondering about the cheese on top. I wasn't sure if I should go ahead and buy vegan cheese at a health food store or not.
