I consider myself to be a "closet vegan" because I only buy plant-based groceries to prepare and cook at home. It's when I go out that I eat meat/dairy to fit into my social circles. It sounds sad, but it's my reality: I've moved to a new city and I need friends. I've had moments in the past when I've attempted to dive into full vegan and failed, mostly because I (a) had no idea how to cook food in the first place, and (b) didn't know the first thing about nutrition. I feel like what I'm doing now is a good first step. Whether I become a full-time vegan or not is left to be seen.
