Hey guys, I am obviously new here. I have been cutting animal products out of my diet (after being vegetarian off and on for 10 years). I stopped began vegetarian because I didn't think I could make a difference if I wasn't vegan, and I didn't think I could be vegan. I was brainwashed. But those days are over. I have been slowly moving towards a vegan diet and will be jumping in completely Monday. I am really excited. I wanted to do it slowly because I didn't want my body or mind to freak out. I am doing this for so many reasons. The animals and environment are of course a huge one, but also for myself. I have a lot of medical conditions and I think most of them are from eating meat. I guess that's what I get for not stay vegetarian. But I am proud of myself for making this commitment and I know this is going to completely change my life. I already feel way better than I did before and I hope I can find the support I need on this website.
