I want to be vegan but I can't get over my chocolate addiction... what should I do??!
Answers:
The fact that you want to become Vegan is brilliant, well done you!. Give yourself a break, it takes time to change our diet!. If you can not get used to the taste of Vegan Chocolate, and if the only non-Vegan thing you eat at the moment is the odd bar of chocolate, then be kind to yourself, continue to eat it until you can comfortably give it up!.
No matter what your reasons are for becoming Vegan, there is one thing for certain, the more you eat Vegan the less appealing non-Vegan foods are!. So eat your chocolate whilst you need it, gradually start to replace it with Vegan chocolate if that is still your wish!.
Your diet is your choice, your responsibility, your decisions!. Don't let anybody bully you into becoming Vegan more quickly than you are ready to do!. Give yourself a pat on the back for what you have done and give yourself a break whilst your taste buds have time to adapt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
