Any vegans have a 'slip up' day?
I ate some milk chocolate on my 'slip up' day. But it only happened once, I swear! Anyone been through the rocky road of intensly craving cheese, ice cream, cheesecake, an omelette, anything along that line?

Nopers.
Yeh, it's normal to "slip up" every now and then for the first 1-3 years. Please don't stop trying to adhere to a strict vegan diet, but certainly don't think you have to justify any slip ups to anyone. Just try to make the slips ups less and less frequent and be proud of all the effort you are putting into it and all the lives you have saved already.
P.S. An intense craving probably means you are lacking something in your diet. Try to figure out what it is and supplement. For exapmle, it could be calcium, so drink more OJ that's fortified with calcium, or greens that are high in calcium. It could be protein, so up your intake of beans and nuts. It could even be fat, or B vitamins. Try to cook with olive oil and flax seeds, you could add it to a salad or a sandwich. You get the idea.
oh my... my days are consumed with chocolate, but there are some great dairy free,sugar free chocolates that taste great! go to goveg.com and it will show you where you can get these delicious treats you are craving!! happy eating....
Yes....and there is one less cow in the world today because of it.
I'm not a vegan but my college roommate was....until the jello shot's came out - hahaha :0)
Yep I "Slip Up" nearly every day. In fact I am going to go home tonight and eat the biggest, juiciest, cheesiest, mouthwatering, organtic steakburger ever. Thanks never tasted so good, I knew there was a silver lining for vegans.
not sure i am not vegan heeehhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
YES! i try not to feel guilty. none of my friends are vegan. a few are vegetarian. more than once when i've been out eating (and drinking) with others i have had a few pieces of cheese. when i went to spain for 2 weeks last year i ate seafood almost everyday. i've been back and forth between vegan and vegetarian for years. seafood is what i crave the most.
and i think some holy vegan is giving us all a thumbs down.
The last time I came close was when I bought some gatorade type sport drink,it had vitamin d-3 in it.Good thing I didn't drink it.You shouldn't feel guilty,it isn't about being pure or perfect,just being as vegan as possible.
yes, oh yes, i slip, i didn't mean to
i had a slice of cheese pizza, i have alot of excuses for it
i won't eat anymore cheese pizza anymore, no more non vegan stuff ever
Of course! And I feel guilty for about 30 seconds, pick myself back up and move on. ... I crave donuts... and breads.....
