i've been a vegan since the beginning of this year, and just yesterday i broke it! i didn't even enjoy what i ate, but today i woke up and ate the same thing! it's so silly, but i want to get back on. i just feel like i've screwed up and i keep telling myself "i'll start tomorrow" when i just did the same thing again.
i really want to stay a vegan, but i seem to have lost sight of why i started in the first place. can you give me a few words of wisdom please so i will snap out of it, and feel free to share any of your experiences too.
thank you

There's no way to be 100% vegan.
About a year ago I went to an Indian
Vegetarian restaurant . I was joined by
15 other veggies. With my appetizer
came a cucumber dolci sauce. I dipped
some bread in it and tasted it. A few
minutes later I found out that it had
milk in it. I simply pushed it away after
that. You just scrape your shoe and move
on when an accident happens. That's all.

Veganism isn't about being pure or being perfect.If it happened by accident you shouldn't feel bad.It is about reducing animal suffering.You can't really be 100% vegan and you should realize that,but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.Just go buy a cookbook and make some creative vegan meals or some vegan cupcakes.

I am always amazed with the reasons people give for eating meat ...one.... they talk about God..but God made Eden where no flesh was eaten until sin..he believed paradise on earth was to have animals as companions not food.... two...they talk about health but vegetarians live an average of 8 years longer then meat eaters with much less disease and illness three ..... if people had to kill the animals themselves most would not do it , but the let others do it not knowing what suffering that animal felt..what terror ...what sadness ........ so now is up to you ... can you eat their bodies in good conscious ? is their taste more important to you ...then letting them live ? you have to make the decision .. I wish you well

All these people need to STOP BASHING OTHERS WAYS
I am a vegan
And I did break byaccedent once. I had a candy with eggwhite in it
I honestly thre up when I heard what was in it
But Look, being a vegan SAVES ANIMALS LIVES
And in the EYES OF GOD EVERYTHING IS EQUAL
So Don't let people pull the religous sh!t on you [no offence to religous people]
But look, do what your heart tells you

Go to www.petatv.com and watch how people torture the animals. That's why I went vegetarian in the first place. Then I found out it's healthier, which was a plus for my mom :D
Hope that helps.

you have to decide for yourself, ask yourself what you are inside, are you vegan or not?
you can do whatever you want to make you happy, so just pick and don't worry about what happens next, cause it's gonna come no matter what you do anyways.

By now the wagon is way out ahead of you.
But, you can do it.
Run very fast - and that's the key word -fasting.
When you take the veggie-fruit route, it's
the same as fasting.

I think something is wrong with the minds of vegans, and vegetarians. It's not the natural order of things. ANimals were put here for a reason. God says they are our servants. They are food for us. They are put here as food. Let the women eat the greens, but for a man to not eat meat, is a femme. A pansy.
Anyways don't stay a vegan. Who are you trying to impress? PETA aren't actually good people. There are other organizations that are better. Why PETA is not respectable? Sure some of their ideas are noble, but the reason they can't be respected is their lack of care of human life, and the fact they are not law abinding. They cannot do and spread what they have to spread without violating laws. They are terroist, and they destroy other people's properties which in no way is their business to do. I am a happy pure bred carnivore. I only eat beef and milk. I'm still alive.

Well, if you did it because of animal issues then seeing this site might make you think a little.
