I'm seriously considering trying to go for a vegan lifestyle.
but I have no idea where to begin. I don't think this is something I can just JUMP into. I have wanted to try some vegan things for a long time now... and I think it would be much more healthier for me.
but I am afraid. even people laughing at me for wanting to try is deterring to me right now. especially if they already are vegan... and are like "pff yea right!" to me. I wan't to try... but I make no promises ... I mean I don't know if it'll have the affect I hope it does.... I also don't know where to even begin.
I went to O's other site www.veganchallenge.org and it's a good place to go I guess for receipes and stuff but there's still a matter of going out and buying such vegan things........ as tofu, soy milk and such. those things are pretty expensive.... I'm also afraid I ususally don't have time to cook..... and honestly I frequent fast food places way too often....
sure most of them have "vegan" or at least vegetarian options... but that brings up even more questions... are those veggie burgers really "VEGAN" or what? being vegan ... eating vegan they are different things....
I don't like hurting animals. but it is the way I've been raised.
and I know I will need ALOT of help and support if I ever want to really become VEGAN. I want to be healthier. and happier. I'm hoping that changing my diet is a big part of that, although I know it's not the whole thing.
and still I am afraid. I do not have any real vegan friends.
