I have a cat. I love my cat. I like the band: System of a Down. I am athletic. I go to school. I have played guitar hero. I had a home. I am trying to cut meat and dairy from my diet. I am interested in becoming a vegan. I do not have a lot of self discipline.
I am an animal lover. I have multiple cats. I am in a band. I play piano and guitar. I have 9 guitars. My band performs classic rock and video game music. I like jazz and rock music. I have been a vegan for five or six years.
I've taken your advice and have started making substitutions to my diet. Do you have any good tofu recipes? Stir fry is a good place to start. Tofu can taste bland to a lot of people, so a bit of spice and oil can make it appealing. I will try it. I'm going to work hard to reduce meat. Do you have any other good suggestions for my transition? Don't try to do everything at once. Pick one food and eliiminate only that. For example, get rid of butter. Or cream in your coffee. Don't bite off too much at once, so to speak. Lol. No pun intended, heh? I think you are right. I substituted a portobello mushroom sandwich for turkey this week. That's a start, right? That's exactly the right thing to do! Good choice. If a bit of melted butter makes it taste good, that's fine at this point. Move away from the solid animal protein first, then look for other things to switch. Great work! I'm really motivated at this point. How long did it take you to transition form a meat eater to a complete vegan? It depends on the person. And the situation. Usually a health scare accelerates the switch. An important thing: don't punish yourself because you slip every once in a while. You want a burger on your birthday? That's fine. I think I can do it because I like a lot of non meat options. However, when i get in a hurry is when I slip up a lot.  The planning. That's the toughest part. It's hard to find vegan options on the fly, though the situation has improved. I know! That's what I struggle with. I'm going to lean on you to try and get this done. I hope you don't mind.  By the way, self-discipline is not something that you "have," it's something you develop. You can practice it and strengthen it.
