HI everyone.
I am just feeling a bit discouraged right now and need to vent. I have been transitioning to veganism for about a year and have been completely vegan for a couple of weeks now. I am absolutely loving it and don't feel deprived at all. I have no idea why it took me so long to transition in the first place now.
But unfortunately, I don't know any other vegetarians in my day-to-day life (other than hubby who is more of a flexi-tarian, but willing to eat whatever I buy).
I feel so much healthier now and so excited about it that I have tried to talk about my new diet choices with several of my friends/aquaintenances over the last couple of weeks. And I am getting a very bad response. I can tell they think I am crazy. And when I mention things I read in "The China Study" I can tell they think I am really, really crazy.
I don't care what they think about me, but I just wanted to vent to some people who know I am not crazy.
Also, some of them have some serious health issues that I think could be greatly reduced if they would be more open minded. It seriously seems like some people would rather feel crappy than give up their yucky food. Sigh.
