I got put-down on holiday for being vegan by the landlord of the pub who was otherwise a cool guy.
Me too I'm afraid....It's actually quite a big relief to hear you say that. Over the holiday I just couldn't stand it....I was always the 'awkward' one and as much as we worked round it, I dont think I got the correct balance of nutrients because NEVER in the whole two years of vegetarianism had I looked at meat, forgotten the cruelty for a second and wanted to eat some!! (I didnt of course and felt s*it for thinking that). But then other overwhelming cravings came about.....first chocolate.
So I found some vegan chocolate in a health food shop and ate loads of that and felt fat.
Then I CRAVED eggs andcheese. I ate so much to try and fill the void.....but I gave in one night (about 3 nights ago).........I felt really really sick, and I craved no other food and there were no substitutes at the time, so I had a free range egg. And another. And I no longer feel sick or "craving".
So I've been 'vegetarian' for the past couple of days and OO the freedom it's given back to me. I want to be vegan so badly but I feel so alone doing it. My friends, family and boyfriend dont really understand, no-one at restaurants etc are accomodating so always feel 'singalled' out and to be honest.......THIS DOESN't DO WONDERS FOR KEEPING THE E-D AT BAY!!
I treid so hard to b something and just feel like I've failed. I feel like I'm in no-man's land right now. ---undecided. I'll least I'll be sure to never eat meat which is one thing I guess.........
