Hey, it took me several years to get to veganism, including 2 years to get off cheese. Expecting this to be easy was naïve of me.

But I want to do this. I really want to do this. And the New Year is coming up. I’m actually a month early—almost unheard of in my life.

How I’m going to start

Plan a damn 2-week menu. Not down to every bite, but how much produce to consume each day. If I want to eat a whole pizza (yes, vegan) and a loaf of bread besides, fine, but I must choke down all the vegetation first.

Plan how to acquire and prepare the produce as well. That’s where I fell down before. I was always playing catch-up with washing and chopping. Whatever storage items I need to keep things fresh longer, going canned or dried if necessary—bottom line, make it easy to consume what I need every day.

Post here every day. When I did low-carb, my blog helped.
