I always wonder how other people feel about their choice to a more compassionate lifestyle. Be it the feeling you have every morning when you get out of bed or the knowledge that you are making a difference, I want to know!

Amen to that! I love being able to experiment!<br><br><br><br>
I also love that I don't have to feel guilty or sweep my true feelings under the rug anymore... I am doing everything in my power to make a difference and I LOVE that! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/hamster.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":hamster:">

As far as little everyday things, I really like that I almost never feel so painfully bloated and full I'm almost sick after a meal. I used to feel like that all the time after I ate.

VB, of course!

I love lots of things, but what do I love the most?<br><br><br><br>
Probably being able to say that I'm an "animal lover" and knowing that I really mean it. I feel good about the decision I made to become vegan and the reasons why I did.

 

[JackiexBoy]

The fact that i know i am saving lives by not eating meat<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> and I know that my choices keep my body healthy.

What I like the most is that I'm not just drinking the Koolaid with everyone else on the SAD. Rather, I'm educated and informed about my healthy eating choices, and I'm doing something wonderfully peaceful for my planet and its inhabitants. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/penguin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":nigel:">

Same here. I also like the knowledge I've gained... and, I can't lie, the look on people's faces when I tell them I'm vegan is absolutely PRICELESS!

 

[GhostUser]

all that and not feeling guilty afterwards.

Not eating things with names like "legs", "ribs", "breasts" and "thighs" and being in total denial about it.<br><br>
Omni dining is like a visit to Hannibal Lecter's.

 

[MaryC1999]

I like knowing that what I am doing is better for me, the Earth and the animals. It's a definite win-win situation no matter how much I miss the taste of cheese! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/broccoli.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":bobo:"><br><br>

I love the fact that no one had to die for my pleasures. No omni could say that...

I love creating amazing, rich and decadent delights for people and opening their minds, hearts and palates to vegan organic cuisine.<br><br><br><br>
I love to eat well and live lustily as a vegan <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/yes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":yes:">

He, good one.<br><br>
A couple of months after I went veggie, my parents went to a KFC and I was a passenger so I had to go sit inside and sit next to the horrible sound of flesh being torn from bones. Ugh and the smell, my god I am never going into one of those places again!

 

[Poppy]

It feels like the right choice for me.

 

[banana_popsicle]

I like feeling good about a choice that i made....not making animals suffer for a "good meal", and being able to stick with it even though it hasen't been all that easy...and i haven't gotten much support.<br><br><br><br>
I like this thread...i forgot how proud of myself i was...yay me! and all the other veg'ns!

 

[MrFalafel]

I feel good about escaping the blind-consumerist-omni lifestyle I had before I turned vegan.

 

[Carwere15]

So true, sometimes I wish I had been raised a vega*n.

 

[queenfluff]

I like that fact that being vegan helps with so many bad problems in the world:<br><br><br><br>
It is good for the animals.<br><br>
It is good for my health.<br><br>
It is good for the environment.
