go vegan for a month

On temporary hold. My cupboard was pretty much animal-free for the last two weeks, but I was starting to get rundown and sick this week (because of work and germs, not my diet), so I began to eat meals with dairy again. My main reason for falling back was because I don’t yet know enough healthy vegan meals. I’m getting there. I’ll keep having breakfast, coffee, etc with soy milk. Cheese and yogurt are probably my biggest challenges.

I’m starting to buy soy milk instead of dairy, and not buying any more cheese so I can get used to it. I will officially start on the first of July.

I went vegetarian this year, but I don’t know if I could go vegan in the long-term. I love cheese and dairy yogurt too much. Mostly cheese is the tough one, because I don’t mind soy yogurt. At first I ruled it out because I didn’t like soy milk, but now I’m used to it and even prefer it in things like hot chocolate and cinnamon tea. But cheese and other dairy substitutes are a) more expensive and b) harder to find. So I just want to try going vegan for one month. I will begin in a week, when I finish all the cheese and yogurt I have left.

Edit: Also, I looooove fried eggs with runny yolk. I still eat them because I don’t think eating an egg itself is cruel as it hasn’t suffered, but then again chickens die needlessly during egg production, so it would probably be a good thing to cut eggs out too.
