I love how practical and down to earth your advice is - I so often see people criticising veganism as being inaccessible or expensive or over strict but like … it literally doesn’t have to be? It’s just like eating normally except it’s vegan, why make it so complicated? I think you’re right that the why is really important too. It’s a big change and a really powerful one but it takes a while to adjust so remembering why you’re doing it takes you a long way.
The “why” is everything. It’s what will make you stay the course when there’s nothing to eat but chips and lettuce. It’s what will make you accept the fruit salad when everyone else is having cheesecake. Once you get to a point where you don’t see these things as food, you’re home.
