Vegan friends are hide to find, I'll admit. Lifestyle choices such as these are barely shared. Still, friends make the journey easier so if you are able to find some, kudos.

In any relationship, freedom of choice is a key component. I would allow my partner to realize their own thinking. I wouldn't force my beliefs upon him. I am vegan and he is not, that's no big deal. I like the color blue, he does not, get my drift? Try as best not to crowd your views on the...

Yup, I'm there as well. Learning these things really can be a lot to take on. It makes you wonder what you were doing your whole life before now, doesn't it?

Everybody has cravings, that's completely normal. To curb my cravings during my transition I have to find something other than food that satisfies me. Writing always does the trick. I find gratification in my work, so much so that I forget to pig out. Junk food has very little effect on me...

Standard restaurants do not really cater to vegetarians. It is indeed difficult to find one nearby that has a variety in vegetarian meals. That's why most times I make my meals myself and I gather my own ingredients. That way I know for a fact exactly what I am putting in my body as a vegetarian.

Of course! Rome was NOT built in a day. Any lifestyle change should be slow and gradual. Allow your physical self to grow accustomed to the new you. Overtime it will wean into the newness. Don't just shove a bag of cabbage down your throat. Start in bites, mouthfuls and progress to meals...

I am also new and I have these same questions as well. I truly appreciate these comments here and I wish you all well on your road to good health. We can get there if we only tell ourselves that we will.

I curb my cravings by falling in love with something other than food. I am a writer so I try to indulge myself in my work and not my eating. It takes my mind off it and I get more done in the end.

Definitely resisting the urge. I can find myself chowing down on a veg but I cannot say the thought of chowing down a piece of burger has never crossed my mind. Resisting that urge is quite difficult.

Why is a pound of cow much cheaper than a pound of cabbage? Why is it that a bag of french fries will only tug at your pocket while a green leafy salad will rip it open and leave it broke? It is beyond me as to why the healthier alternatives are so costly, how do you keep up?

Fruits and vegetables are relatively cheap and are a no brainer to a great diet. Try to mix things up a bit by drinking lots of water and staying active.
