Trying very hard to be vegan!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

For the last several years, I've tried at various times to be vegan.

(I haven't had beef, pork, or chicken for over six years). Alas,

I've run into several problems that have knocked me off the vegan

wagon. I was wondering if anyone had any advice in dealing with these

issues:

 

1) I can't cook. Seriously. I will overcook pasta, even following the

timer instructions.

 

2) I guess you could call me a lazy vegan. I like convenient meals,

but trying to find variety in my diet as a vegan is difficult. There

are only so many soups, salads, vegan frozen dinners I can eat.

 

3) I do eat out a lot - since I can't cook, and going back to the

laziness issue. And where I live, there are no strictly vegetarian

restaurants, much less vegan ones.

 

4) Due to thyroid issues, I avoid soy. So I'm having a hard time

getting enough protein.

 

This is something I really want to be committed to, but I'm wondering

if it's possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
