CONFESSION: because I need to get it of my chest!
Today was a rough day as a new vegan. Because of Covid-19 it was the first time we met with out in law cousin and his new wife since April becausewere really doing social distance and staying at home as we possibly can.
But it was the first time they were having guest at their new home so we had no choice but to go. It was a small group, just family, 3 couples and my mom.
It was a barbecue, lots of eggs salad and chocolate cake. I cook my own food (vegan) and took it with me.
My mom and husband still support me. The other couple's wife also supported me.
But the others.... they were trying to make me eat meat and the rest and when I didn't they made those little jokes about my lifestyle.
Since I became vegan it was my first time handling those kinda of behaviors and it was hurt and hurtful. It was already hard for to resist because I loved barbecue and egg salad and chocolate cake and I'm a new vegan - less than 3 months, so just the smell was driving crazy! I think most of us go through this fase at the beginning of the transition so I think you know what I mean, right!?
But I stayed strong and just ate my vegan food - which was delicious btw - but it was still hard to hear those jokes.
But I'm very proud of me for not giving in to those commentaries or argue and ruining the night or the food.
I'm very shy and have zero experience on the subject but I'm even thinking about sharing my experience through Tumblr, Instagram and YouTube.
Just had my first harvest and I was so proud!
I'm cooking and creating recipes and loving my journey!
I've made a commitment to myself and my life choice and I don't plan on looking back, just forward!!!
P.S: pardon my English. It's not my native language. 🙈
Stay safe, be well and kind!
