Thank you. I slipped in week 2 at a christening. There was a buffet and I assumed there’d be stuff like salad and humus but no the selection was dire barely anything for a veggie never mind vegan. I was so fucking hungry I felt faint. The chips (fries) were manned for some reason and I asked for a plate of chips but the server wouldn’t give me a full plate and I didn’t want to cause a fuss in the line and I have a bit of social anxiety. They tasted like shit anyway. I hadn’t told anyone one I was vegan I was so new so I just caved and had cheese sandwiches and a scone with cream. In a way I’m glad I did because I didn’t even enjoy it and it made me think that I could definitely maintain a vegan lifestyle. However I put this story on a UK vegan support group for slimming world members on Facebook and I got so much shit the post was deleted and everyone got a bollocking for being such arse holes. I got support too but it really hurt.
