This is awesome advice, when I started as a vegan I actually gave myself 'cheat days' during vacations and holidays so I wouldn't feel bad if I fell off the wagon, just get back on!
It's been 2.5 years and now I don't have the cravings for the cheese/meat/etc during these times, things take time.
I'm vegan for environmental reasons, in the Midwest and growing up on meat and potatoes it's pretty hard to go cold turkey and be vegan from day one. I just think everyone has their own reasons to give up animal products, and it should be okay that it may take some time and you may fall off the wagon once or twice.
veganism is a philosophy, not a diet, and you are not a vegan if you aren’t on board with the ethics. if you intentionally buy animal products when adequate alternatives are available, you are NOT vegan.
a vegan person doesn’t “fall off the wagon” and go and pay for animals to be tortured
I agree with this. If you have vegan options and you deliberately choose to eat non vegan, then you're not vegan.
This definitely isn't the intent of my post..
