New to Veg

relationship advice ............
before you kiss him, make him wash his mouth ....
meat breath EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWIES!

Hey there welcome to the light. .... Lol well anywhooo so many questions! I'll just have my say about a couple and let others share in the replies too :p. first relationship - this along with everything else will be a step by step process and anything could change at any time. But if it's good enough and worth it I'd start by sitting down and having a serious discussion, I'd say ok so for now can we both just understand that we are on different pages and whilst I'll try my hardest not to be a pain in the bum if u can try your hardest to support me and realise that even if I am wrong about this that my intentions and heart are in the right places and just TRY to listen to what I have to share with you and then I'll try to understand u r allowed a different view.  Thing is he doesnt have to agree with u but if he loves u i believe he should support u in doing something u feel is right and something that means a lot to u. I guess first whilst the hope that he will one day follow u will never go away the fact is he may just never make that connection like some of us do and then depending on where ure up to with ur own journey u will decide if that works for u or not - there are soooo many vegetarians and vegans with omni partners and they make it work (some). But also keep in mind (one thing I always found hard to remember) that most of us and u were there too once upon a time, my partner knew the bad stuff but one day something just "clicked" so he tells me. This is not really a view that can be forced UNFORTUNATELY!! Lol

Food and stuff - massive learning process , I promise it gets easier and easier but Ull also be left thinking it was never as hard as u thought..just is a little to begin with while ure working out what u like and can eat ... Vegetables vegetables vegetables fruit fruit fruit!!!! Lol I lived on veges and Mac n cheese the first 20 years of life (possible exaggeration but hope u get my point) and theres nothing wrong with me .... Whilst I'd never touch cheese again - except CHEEZLEYS Yummo haha I have tried so many new things in the last 8 years and I'm still getting better and better with foods all the time. Take a veg friendly multi v if u like even just to start with

All the best it's awesum ure finding a compassion for things u never knew u had and even for yourself - veg is the healthy way  just always ALWAYS remember don't listen to anyone being negative about ur choices - ure doing a great thing and if ure ever not sure about something research it! Or ask here lol.
Hope I've helped even a little x o x o

Haha don't worry! You don't have to live off salads! Vegan's eat the best food around! You should give my website a squizz for some recipe's and info on what's vegan at places like Baker's Delight, Wendy's etc. Tomorrow I'll be adding a recipe which is practically the vegan version of the meat pie. It's delish! Sorry didn't mean to make that sound so much like an ad. haha
Congratulations on going veg!

OMG.... I will never date a meat eater again but when i did.... floss, brush and mouthwash otherwise don't come near me.  heehee

Thank you Lisa! I always have about a gallizon questions in my head at any point which is pretty much  has led me new changes and this site... You make a very good point about only 4 weeks ago I was eating meat and had no idea about factory farming. My man is sensitive, genuine and caring.... but he doesn't share my love for reading and making changes all the time!

We have come to a kinda happy medium where... I will no longer cook meat for him... And he's agreed that instead of buying meat form the store, he'll source it from a private farm possibly... Sad but better than supporting factory farming... And we've decided to get some laying hens who will be spoiled just like my dog and 2 cats..

What is your website Kirsty? I am doing my online shopping now so I am looking for recipes as we speak!
