I keep planning on eating healthier, but it keeps getting put off. I'd like to be on a vegan diet (because of my love for animals), but I don't think there's much reality in that I'd stick to that. Even vegetarian is questionable.

I love milk products (but not plain milk itself). I've never tried soy milk, mostly because of the negative things I've heard about it. I did try vanilla-flavored almond milk, but I don't buy it because I still prefer regular milk (I get the 2%), but I should switch to it. Problem is, I really only use milk to go with cereal, which is highly sugary (at least the ones I like). I love milkshakes, hot chocolate, strawberry milk, steamers (steamed milk, without coffee/espresso) and other milky drinks, plus I love just about anything made with milk, like ice cream, cake, pudding, cheese, and more. Sweet stuff is my demon, although I do like eating a lot of savory dishes as well.

I understand what you mean about feeling confused, the more you try to get into vegetarianism/veganism. I find it stressful, because everything I like is pretty much not a vegetable. I like a few veggies, maybe a little on the side, or as toppings (depending on what veggies we're talking about, on what), but I am a slave to processed foods. I need to change.

Good luck with your diet (or "lifestyle change" if you prefer). I wish I could tell you how to make good soy milk, but that's out of my range, sorry.
