I don't know about inspiring personal stories, but it did take me quite some time to become fully vegan. Becoming vegetarian was simple for me, because the bottom line was no meat. It was much more straightforward to me than veganism, because if you're eating meat, you know it, and so it was a pretty easy mental transition. It was easy to avoid meat because just looking at it or tasting it reminded me of the disgustingness and the repercussions. But when I became vegan, I couldn't just not drink milk or eat eggs, but I also couldn't eat foods that used them as ingredients. (Which are a lot!) I had to start really inspecting labels and I gave up a lot of foods that I had previously loved, which I definitely don't regret, don't get me wrong! It was just much more of a challenge. And with the larger challenge came the infinite benefits!
