I've been vegetarian since I was 6, attempted veganism for the first time in 2010 and lasted 9 months before I became sick from eating unhealthily (opting for vegan substitutes for dairy and meat instead of the natural vits and mins in vegetables!). Spent a few months weaning myself off dairy and eggs and turned completely vegan in August 2016. Have been less strict with the veganism since 2021, after discovering dumpster diving.
