I wanna go back to being a vegan *ED mentioned*
Hi ! The titles pretty self explanatory. I originally started as a vegan two years ago in my freshman year at college . I had a pretty inconsistent diet due to the fact that I was scared that I was gonna have the freshman 15 so I decided to stop eating and spolier alert that sent me into a food spiral for most of my freshman year of college. I decided to put myself on a diet of sorts or just change my lifestyle in general from just eating junk food to eating more whole grains and no meat. Prolly wasn't the best decision at the time just cause I was having trouble with consistency and the cafeteria options are so limited. One day they would have options for vegans and vegetarians and other days they'll have no vegan options.
Around the 3 month mark of being a vegan, I came home from school and I slowly devolved into a vegetarian (my sister has been a vegetarian for the last 5 years, so to me it was easier for my family to get behind - my family didn't understand the whole being vegan thing and they would always say "so what can you eat ? Only salad right? "
And since I didn't have a job (and still dont), I'm not able to buy the options I want .Basically this post is to see how I can come back to being a vegan. Should I go to food pantries? How has that worked out for other people with limited access? What should I do ? I'd really appreciate some advice !
* Also I don't want to eat fast food anymore. Within the last week, I ate at tropical smoothie, taco bell, and Arby's (I got a shake and a cherry turnover) and all my food had hair in it - everything but the shake ofc. So I wanna prepare my own food. *
*Also I don't know if this is important but I go to school in Louisiana and when I come home after school I'm in Tennessee*
