The big transition

Hey everyone I am currently in the works of becoming vegan. I am actually super excited! I know my body will thank me and the life long benefits will be great. I am still doing lots of research and have started to make vegan meals through the week while having a little meat on weekends. Can anyone give me some quick pointers? How’s your experience been so far? How do I continue to ignore everyone pressuring me to become vegetarian instead (esp when they are health practitioners)? I am super set on becoming a vegan for all the right reasons and I know it’s going to be hard with temptation and stubborn close ones not understanding, therefore, not truly respecting this decision. Thank you!
