(Disclosure: I’m a newbie vegan, transitioned to this lifestyle about 2 months ago.)

So, do any of your families treat your veganism like a “phase”? I’m almost sure that they’re waiting for it to “pass” and me to resume an omni diet.

Haha. The tricky thing is that they don’t realise that this is part of my life now, from here on out. I love the food that I’m eating, how I’m bettering the planet and my health, etc.

What are some ways to help them realise that I’m not in a “phase” or “experimenting” with my food? Suggestions and stories, please!!

So, my family thinks that it’s fine to use all my vegan butter like it’s no big deal. And then they get all bent out of shape when I get upset because I can’t use “their” butter.

Am I dumb for getting pissed or is this actually justified annoyance?

Anyone have a good recommendation for watercolor paint sets? I’m getting back into the swing of things! 

It’s time to start painting again!
