Wanting to go vegan but….

….this is like my 4th attempt. I feel so silly even posting about this. I first went vegan almost 10 years ago in my 20s and lasted about 2 years then fell off. Tried again a couple times since then to varying success. My latest attempt was almost a year ago to date and only lasted a few months. Idk why I’m having such a hard time with this. It aligns with my morals and politics. I think part of it could simply be anxiety, especially around food. At this point I’m finding it hard to even tell my friends and family bc they’ve heard it all before. Literally the last time I tried my dad was like “okay yeah, for how long this time?” And sadly he was right. Clearly something in me genuinely WANTS to be vegan, otherwise I wouldn’t keep trying. I live with my family, so I know I can’t keep skirting around it. Idk why I feel the need to “hide” it. I’m grown af. I guess I just feel a little silly. Like “the weirdo who cried vegan”.
