Hi all.
I'm a couple of months into a completely vegan diet but have really struggled eating out with my family this evening. I don't eat out often but will do every now and again with my wife and 2 children. This evening we went out to the local pub, a place we've been going to for 10 years plus. Whilst everyone else had full plates of food, I had two side bowls; one of chips, one of salad. This is the second occasion that I have been in such a situation where I've just had to forget about going out and enjoying a meal and just be happy that everyone else is happy with theirs. I didn't feel all that great to be fair, I pretended to be cheerful but went hungry and my family looked on at me with pity. How do people manage these situations? I don't want to be selfish and stop my family going out for meals at their favourite places. Not sure what to do.
I'm off to make myself beans on toast.
Anyone else struggle like this?
Nick
