Hi there luxsum... I'm on this journey with you now! I'm going for a vegan diet... not so organised yet to do the whole lifestyle... but the diet is a great start! Stay on track with me and the rewards are there... the rewards to you, to the environment, and to the animals :-) Feel great about this... it is a good thing!

This is a great commitment to make. I am already a vegetarian, and am set to make the commitment to a vegan diet starting in August. You are doing a great thing luxsum!! Keep going.. You can do anything you set your mind to! Go for it :-)

Another successful week!! I am feeling so much better about myself. It's so important to me to maintain a vegan lifestyle.

yay! Good job! We vote with our wallets and we support a world that does not exploit animals. In our own small way we are making the world a better place, and living by example hopefully some day others will see it as feasible and desireable. You should reward yourself with an extra yummy vegan goodie. Personally I like vegan sorbet.

Also, you may need more support. Vegan Freak Chat is a good place where people there will strongly encourage not failing. They held me accountable a few times and it was helpful to know someone out there really cared whether I failed or not.

I would encourage you to start a new commitment journal with money on the line. I think a little personal punishment might give you the boost you need. Personally I'm so cheap if I have to donate 10 dollars to the george bush library fund if I fail I REALLY don't want to fail, lol.

Again not a perfect week. Every week I get better and better, and I have still come a long way from my days of existing on fast food burgers and not knowing what to do about the guilt I felt about using animal products. Every week I find new foods, new ideas and new solutions to eating vegan. Someday I will get there!

I get better and better at it every year. All of the products I use are vegan, and a vast majority of my food is vegan. I do this for ethical reasons as well. I sometimes get discouraged but then I remember where I started. I have come a long way from where I used to be. I will get there eventually. Thanks so much for the support!
