I need help staying motivated on being vegan?!?

Question

I love being vegan but, I slip up here and there and it like weakens my resistance. I live with a meat-dairy-eating family and it's hard to not eat what they are eating but, I don't want to. I need help getting over cravings for meat and dairy? Any help?

I don't want to wean off of them. I've mainly stopped eating it, I just get little cravings...I want to get rid of them... Please help!

Answer 1

everytime you get a craving, just think of the pain and suffering the aniamal went through, that you want to eat. if you want EXTRA motivation, go to youtube.com and search PETA video, there you can see the pain these animals go through. after that, i promise youll no longer want meat (and by the way the video is extremely graphic only watch it if you think you can handle it...it made me cry.)

Answer 2

buy alternatives?

buy any chance is it chocolate you crave? haha only joking but alpro soya do a good chocolate milk yumm.

you always want what you can not have!

and for meat how about quorn? or tofu they have a aquired taste but you get used to them.

try thinking about putting yourself off, feathers always put me off eating eggs and any birds. or i always think about them little yellow chicks or the taste of fur in my mouth.

its strange, but works.

Well i think i know the problem. You are wanting meat and dairy because it is natural for you to want it. It is human to want protein, and in fact, it is necessary to survival. So your body is kind of in a panic right now, and if you don't eat protein or meat and dairy soon, your body will start to eat itself (muscle). And you get weaker, and this actually kills you, that is why most vegans take pills. I personally find veganism and vegetarianism ridiculous, and i think you should completely stop it right now. It goes against every natural instinct and Genetic knowledge the body posseses. I would stop right now, it is not healthy at all, and if you don't you are going to keep craving and having headaches, and muscle cramps and even loss of strength. Are you upset because you kill cows? Don't even worry about it, do you think a lion becomes a vegetarian because he feels bad for the gazelle he is about to kill? No, he does it because he wants and needs meat. And let me tell you, if that cow had the opportunity to kill you and eat you, he would definitely do it, without a doubt.

its is unatural to be a vegan we wouldnt be the same humans we are today if our ancestors and their ancestors before them ate lettuce all the time. for one it goes against your instincts and two...there aint much you can add to a carrot to get that deliciousness that you get from from a nice, big, juicy steak or burger...stick to being an omnivore
