My Vegan Journey

 I am in the middle of the 4th week of my vegan journey.  I am doing fine.  Watching tons of YouTube videos on podcasts and lectures as well as Netflix documentaries regarding the benefits of the low-fat, whole food plant, plant-based diet helps a lot in my motivation to stay on the course.  I notice some changes.  My poop is not as foul-smelling as it was.  My eyes are less blurry.  I have more energy.  My cravings for junk food are gone.    There are some setbacks also.  I could not partake in Costco or Sam's Club food samples.  My husband is not 100 percent into it.  He said I forced it to them.  I told him he could eat whatever he wanted but not expect me to cook meat for him.  My husband used to eat healthier than I did.  It did not occur to me that it would be more difficult for him.  I had him watch documentaries and listen to explanations of why the whole food vegan diet is better, but he still needs help.
