I doubted my reasons for the decisions I made because I was unprepared, yet it was being unprepared that left my beliefs to falter as the beliefs themselves were there.

We’ve been vegans for over five years now. We didn’t “slowly” transition into it. We went from being omnivores to vegans overnight. And guess what. It wasn’t hard. At all. Not even a little bit.
Because it particularly irritates me when I hear other vegetarians/vegans say, “Don’t just become a vegetarian overnight!! Oh noes!!” I related this article to the Beau. His response couldn’t have been more perfect, or more apt.
“If you want to stop abusing your wife, don’t just stop beating her overnight. Just pull your punches a little bit. Maybe hit her with your weak arm. Switch to backhanding her.”
I’d say that sounds about right.
