I have a few vegetarian/pescatarian friends, but really no vegans in my circle. It was definitely a bit challenging when I first started cutting out animal products in my diet because I did feel a little alone. Now I've got such a great group of people I've met online that it makes it just that much easier. Luckily my boyfriend was very supportive. That helps a lot so I don't have to cook separate meals! It's been almost 5 years for me now, and I can't see ever going back. :)
