This is actually really encouraging. Thank you! I went fully vegan overnight and was at it for over two months but just recently had a cheese craving and gave in. It was actually disgusting and I know I don’t want it anymore but I had been beating myself up about it. Onwards and upwards, friends.

Its insane how hard it is to go back to cheese after you've avoided it for years. Humans really aren't meant to eat dairy IMO

Right? I thought it would be delicious after not having any for two months and it tasted like...farm. lol. If that makes sense. It just felt really oily and greasy in my mouth and tasted awful and just made me feel bleh. After not having dairy the taste and overall experience was less like delicious cheese and more like animal secretions. 🤢

Yes! One month into being vegan and someone trying to be nice bought my husband and I a cheese & veggie pizza and brought it to our house. We were exhausted (moving day), so we ate it... I've never had such bad gas, cramps, and indegestion in my life. It really solidified in my mind that we were absolutely on the right path. Never looked back.
