New vegan looking for some friends

Hey all!

I've been a vegan for about 6 months.

I'm still going strong - sort of...

My lovely girlfriend stopped being a vegan a couple days ago, which has left me without much support. It's been pretty difficult because we used to keep each other accountable.

If you were wondering, yes, it was Thanksgiving where she caved. Apparently, momma's turkey game is too strong...

So now, I'm reaching out to the MFP community to supplement the support I once I had.

Friend invites would be greatly appreciated :)

    Vegetarian for 10 yrs, Vegan (plant based whole foods) since June. I'm happy to be among other veg heads here.
    @JohnBuddyPal fuel your motivation with information. Have a really strong WHY and no food will derail you. I love my "how not to die" cookbook. Dr. M. Greger is a great resource. He has loads of videos. Non of it's for profit and all is well research.

    Hi. I originally went vegan due to health reasons. I had digestions issues such as constipation and intolerance towards dairy. As I learned more about veganism, I became more aware about its aspects related to animal rights & compassion and environmental impact.

    If you want to learn more about the health aspect, watch What The Health and Forks Over Knives.

    For the animal rights and compassion, watch Earthlings (www.nationearth.com) and Dominion.

    For the environmental aspect, watch Cowspiracy.
