It's pointless asking us for help with your own willpower, only you can do it. Nothing anyone here will say will change it. All it can do is inspire you, but if you have chosen the path of true logic, you should be full of self inspiration already.

Remember. Peace and long life.
The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few.

You aren't staying on it because you don't want to do it badly enough. If you want something badly enough, you'll do it.

Edit: Poster below me..How is being vegan hard? It's not.

You can also ask at the movies to see the ingredients of their butter. Often times it's not real butter. You can also bring your own vegan treats. Or do like me and only have water.

If you want to have popcorn, have popcorn! Make your own. There's vegan chocolate and MILLIONS of vegan dessert recipes you could make. There is vegan chinese food too. I don't really understand the question.

I wouldn't recommend a vegan diet for you, if you're doing it merely for weight loss reasons.

Being a vegan is more than a diet...

I'd just add more green vegetables into your diet.

well stop being vegan and make your life easier, you can always be vegetarian if you want

By becoming a complete idiot.

You "only" lost nine pounds in one month? That's a huge amount. So you're starving yourself, and then binging on unhealthy foods. If you ate a healthy, balanced and adequate diet, you won't be as likely to binge on the weekends. You'll lose weight slower, but will be more likely to keep it off.

To avoid temptation, bring your own vegan chocolate to the theater. The popcorn is probably vegan anyway (no one uses real butter anymore) so get a small bag and enjoy it. Chinese is the best kind of restaurant for vegan food; they always have a large selection of vegan dishes.

well first Begin by slowly easing yourself into vegetarianism. Try committing yourself to being a vegetarian at least 3 days per week for the first couple of weeks. You can accomplish this by substituting certain ingredients in your favorite dish with non-meat items. If you’re making spaghetti for instance, consider using mushrooms in your sauce as opposed to meat balls. You could even give textured vegetable protein (TVP) a try. The key is to make simple replacements in your recipes to help you stay on the right track to adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. Once you give a try you’ll wonder what you’ve been missing all of your life.
Once you’ve accomplished 3 days per week, the next step is to commit to five days per week for the next two weeks. At this point you’ll want to study the natural foods aisle at your local grocer to learn what other options you have in terms of healthy food ingredients. Treat yourself to new vegetarian products and work them into your next meal. If you are stuck on ideas for tasty vegetarian recipes, the Internet can be a great source.

You don’t have to limit yourself to being a vegetarian only when you are home. Instead, even when eating out, most restaurants offer vegetarian entrees that are just as delicious as what your friends may be eating. In fact, you may even find inspiration for your next vegetarian dish.
So far you’ve made it 5 days a week. Now what is left is to simply add those remaining two more days to your week. Once you’ve done this successfully, consider yourself a full-fledged vegetarian. After all, you have been doing this for a month now and have proven yourself to be a rookie in the game.

Start taking pride in your accomplishments – not just for your health, but also for the animals and our environment. Becoming a vegetarian is not about simply being perfect; instead, every animal-positive change that is made in your diet has a great effect on everyone.

well hopefully that help or you could just try eating less and exercising more!! what ever you choose hope it helped :)

First of all 9 pounds in one month is a healthy amount to have lost. It is suggested that you aim for a 1-2 lb per week weight loss on any type of diet. Anymore and you are likely starving yourself.

You are messing up because you are treating it like any other diet and restricting yourself. You also aren't committed to it because it is only a method of weight loss to you.

Vegan is not a weight loss diet, you can eat meat and dairy and still lose weight and be healthy. Vegan is more than just what you eat, it is more of a lifestyle. A vegan avoids not only consuming any animal products, but using any either. That goes for makeup, clothing, etc.

If you want to continue with a vegetarian diet that excludes dairy and eggs, then find substitutes for the things you crave. Many chinese places have vegetarian options. There is vegetarian chocolate. As others have suggest, bring your own popcorn or treats to the movies.

Add-
Sam above made a good point, if you are too restrictive, you will lose control and binge. Eat healthy. Make sure you are eating enough calories.

I use myplate.com to track my calories, fat, carbs, etc. It has a feature where you input how much weight you want to lose and calculates how many calories you should be eating. You can also put in your activity so you can account for that.
