14 years!!! My Veganniversary!
I can't believe it's been 14 years since I started eating vegan! I decided to try it out for a month 14 years ago, and then kept with it! Except about a month into it my MIL made me salmon, because she thought vegetarians eat fish, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I ate it that day. That was the last time I ate meat, though.
I really don't want to eat meat. I can't imagine eating animals now. It's been good, and I'm so glad I decided to try it out! I've heard since then that going "cold turkey" (haha!!) doesn't work for a lot of people, that changing more slowly can be more successful for more people than trying to do it all at once. I'm so glad it worked out.

Re: 14 years!!! My Veganniversary!
I was searching this forum for old threads about Thanksgiving, and I came across this post of mine from back in 2006:
Quote:
And it's true. . . many years ago I ate almond roca that someone had given us. We had visited a church and later the pastor visited our house and gave us a mug with almond roca in it. And one day when I was feeling sad, I ate the almond roca. And I didn't mention this, but I used to eat a caramel apple at the fair once a year for a couple years (not sure exactly how many years) after I became vegan. Okay, I'm not perfect, but I'm still counting it as 14 years, though, because of the amount of commitment it takes is huge.

Re: 14 years!!! My Veganniversary!
I love how healthy you are!
I'm also glad to see you giving yourself grace. I was a vegetarian for 12 years. I could totally be one again. I'd be on GCM searching for great recipes if I did it!

That's so neat you were vegetarian for 12 years! Did you grow up vegetarian? Were you veg for health reasons or other reasons? Please only share if you want to. ---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ---------- That's a really good question. I'm going to think about it some more and get back to you.
