Genuinely was tempted but TV has 
'd the idea. They cook 2/3rds of the time with my work schedule so I canāt argue. Iāll try for vegan weekends and build up from there. (Is lager vegan?)
You lose your cravings soooo quickly that you just donāt feel that need for cheese after a while.
Some beers are vegan. Beavertown is the brewery I go for.

Yeah, iām trying to go for a whole year of being vegan. I did the whole of November and all the way up until Christmas eve as vegan so itāll be very easy for me again. I had a little cheese on christmas day but tbh I didnāt really fancy it as much as I though I would have.
You have to be quite well prepped indoors and have some recipes you can fall back on as a last min dinner. Lunches are easy for me as there are a load of places near my work that do vegan lunches.
The only issue is dickheads at work trying to tell you that youāre not getting enough protein or vitamins or whatever. I donāt ever start a conversation but seem to have someone ask me questions daily and itās so boring. Everyones like āhow long are you keeping this vegan bullshit up for?ā and itās just annoying after a while. Apparently youāre a full on weirdo for being conscious of the bullshit youāre piling into your body.

I had one guy buy cream cakes for his birthday and place them all on the desk next to me to try to tempt me. He also then sent out an email saying āand for those of you on stupid diets, you can have what I bought or nothing at allā.
I donāt see how my diet can affect anyone at my work yet every day people take the piss out of me. I keep to myself at lunch and donāt comment on anyone elses lunches yet I get it all the fucking time. I canāt stand working there at the moment.

Fucking hell, thatās awful.
The only comments made about other peopleās food should be āthat looks niceā (or similar).
Sounds like youāre doing really well with the vegan diet as well so fuck knows why people think theyāve got any right to comment on it.
Are crumpets vegan?
Butter isnāt vegan is it?
What about marmite?
Squash and feta pie (shortcrust pastry)?
Bacon flavour wheat crunchies?
Peanut m&mās?
Apple sandwiches?
Full set of approval on this and I might be able to make it through a month
The man in question is quite large, gets a cab to and from the station every single day and has bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast each day.
I just sat back, enjoyed my apple and laughed at the ridiculousness of him judging my lifestyle choices!
I canāt really see me going back to a ānormalā diet any time soon tbh. Iāve had a week off this week and I feel so rotten. And I havenāt even eaten meat. Iāve just had a few bits of a chocolate and a bit of cream cheese. The vegan diet gives me so much more energy every day.

By butter I mean like Utterly Butterly or whatever the co-op variant is, oh and what about these? As I have about four bajillion to eat
I went to a wedding weekend that was in a remote country house - all meals from the Friday night to Sunday lunchtime were catered for. It just so happened that the owners were vegan (the bride and groom werenāt) and all meals were veggie and used vegan replacements where possible. Iām not veggie, but I enjoyed the food and thought it was a nice change, and was very much aware that the bride and groom were paying for everyone. Despite that, there were some āmeat and potatoesā idiots who moaned and whined through the entire weekend about how there was no meat. I wanted to throttle them and it almost turned me.

Crumpets, spread and marmite for brekkers
Apple sarnie for lunchiemunchie
Idk about dinner now though.
Urgh! Like itās going to kill them to go without a bit of meat!
Sounds ace though.
In theory Iād like to do a vegan month sometime in the future, but not sure how feasible it is if youāre already a picky eater (esp with vegetables/salady stuff). Would basically just end up living off vegan curries or pasta dishes. Iāve never even done a week without meat so should probably have a go at that first, I guess.
Try doing meat free monday for a little while and see how you get on.

nah iām not getting involved with something with that clunky a name.
I think this is my barrier to entry tbh. So many days I just gorge on whatever we have in, or if Iām doing a shift at the pub, whatever tasty pie we have on. Regulate so much else of my life with cycling, training, drinking, hydration, recovery, protein, etc that it seems such a massive fucking faff when I could just grab a milkshake and a hotdog on the fly
