Today is the day! I have decided to go cold turkey and start my official journey into veganism. For the past few months I have been in a transition stage (this stage has also been going on since I was 16, but whose counting). When I decide on doing something I like try to and get as many facts as I can, I go research crazy, then I decide if this is the right choice for me. I read all the pros and cons to this lifestyle and aside from the nutritional aspects of it I have come to realize veganism is more than just a healthier diet choice (though it is possible to be unhealthy and vegan many processed foods are vegan). The fact of the matter stands not only am I doing this for myself but also I feel that like animals are not here for my benefit. I had to ask myself, how can I call myself an animal lover if I only show care for one set of animals like dogs and cats but not show the same love and respect to other animals. I have spoken to family and friends and although they have health concerns I am confident that this is the best choice for me. I am ready to move on in this journey and ready to post everything in between. I will try and update everyday on what I eat and do related to this and hopefully inspire someone to take the plunge.
