I've been plucking recipes off this site for a few years because many of the dishes are so tasty regardless if they are vegetarian/vegan, they are yummy.  And in all that time cooking, I certainly never thought I make the transition from omnivore to vegan--actually I think I was quoted as saying, "I'd never be a vegan," on more than one occasion.

But that's completely changed and this weight has been removed from heart.  As I've been diving into the world of veganism I've noticed that it's more common to transition from being a vegetarian to vegan--now I was naive and believed a one point that vegetarians were vegans—eating completely plant-based diets.  Later I learned about ovo-lacto vegetarians, the fish eaters, etc. and discovered that being vegan was another distinction.  Personally, I felt that if I were going to stop eating animal flesh, it would also include eggs and dairy because they come from animal flesh and it would be hard to distinguish one from the other.  And it was that feeling that has kept me from considering being a vegetarian initially, although, I'm vegan because I don't want to take part in practices that go against core beliefs.  But maybe I'm extreme, I'm not sure but I was just curious to see if there were others who became vegan from meat-eater--just like that. I'll admit I did not have a very vegan house, but eventually my overconsumption will be a thing of the past...
