I do not consider myself a failure. I really didn't think it would be that hard, but it's clear to me now that I need a bit more education before I go full-on vegan. Yesterday was a tough day. The night before was the EPIC BATTLE AT BEDTIME and emotionally I was fragile...and b/c of the battle I didn't have time to prep my food for the day. I succumbed to order from the cafe across the street and I got what I normally would get, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap. It was good and I did feel a little bad, but on the other hand, it was really nice to feel FULL again. I think I'd had a hungry feeling in my stomach since Saturday.
I fed the kids a friendly vegan meal, but they were ravenous. Ummm...clearly I need to think out their meals more as well.
My plan right now is to continue to attend the vegan pledge meetings to learn as much as I can, and also read books (Veganist and Main Street Vegan are on my bedside), but I'm not going to work so hard to get everything right.
If I'm offered the choice of vegetarian vs. vegan at the store I'll choose the vegan, but otherwise I'll stick with being vegetarian at the moment.
