Hi Rory...I like Lou’s post. Not saying you shouldn’t continue to strive for giving up the cheese. I do sympathize with you, though. It’s been 15 years for me and I still cry inside when I see people eating meals loaded with cheese. Do the best you can with minimizing the amount you consume...for now. Maybe it will get easier as you go along. Set small goals...I don’t know how often you are eating cheese, but if it’s every day, you can try going 2-3 days without it. Then push it to a week, a month, and so on. It might help.I don’t know if this is good advice or not. I just know that guilt never really helps. The guiltier I feel over my vegan failings, the more depressed I get and the more I crave the forbidden foods. I like to tell myself, I can have it if I want, and then I feel good when I resist.Just keep trying.
