    This is totally true! There is so much out there at the start and so much pre-packaged food. And who doesn't want the easy option? But in the end you have to cook for yourself to be better off in the long run :)

    I have a few -

    1. Don't be afraid to be the only one eating healthy. I felt immense pressure when I was just starting out to eat animal products due to the people around me ( Nothing stated, just lots of ribs and BBQ and whatnot )

    2. Be STRONG! You know you are strong, don't let your doubts get the best of you.
    3. Experiment and get your hands dirty. I was afraid of cooking on my own for awhile, so I relied on pre made things, which aren't bad but aren't sustainable.
    4. Find likeminded people. My husband is still a carnivore, and at the start was abit gruff towards me. Hes much better now, but I think I would have done better if I would have had a friend or more help me out.
