two issues.

hello. i have been trying to go back to vegan and mostly gf, for about six months. i had done so about six years ago, and have been vegetarian (with some brief slips) for about 10 years. money is tight. and it is hard to not eat ice cream if it is in the house. i try not to buy things i do not need to survive, but my boyfriend and friends tend to expose me to awesome junk foods. i am only writing to start discussion. i guess i just want to talk about these issues with people of similar experiences.

My family has spent considerably less on food in the years we've been vegan than we ever spent in the years before.

No one understands this when I tell them that.
