Here's a question - you mentioned that you eat out infrequently. A lot of people like John Berardi say that social support is key to living healthy - do you find that to be true? I have the impression your husband is more of a "normal" eater - does he support your food choices or think you and all your readers are crazy because you photograph food? :) What about your friends? Does your social circle involve other like-minded people, or are you the odd one out? If you are, was that hard to overcome?
Yes, social support is key. My husband is "normal" eater in the sense that he doesn't diet or worry about food, but he is active, health conscious and has never been above 10% body fat in his life. Most of my real life friends are like-minded health and fitness nuts, and many of the people I interact with online every day are personal trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, Pilates instructors, dietitians, triathletes, Body for Lifers, CrossFitters, Weight Watchers.
Basically, I have myself completely, hopelessly, 100% surrounded! If I wanted to kick back and not exercise for awhile and gain ten or fifteen pounds, I would need to join the witness protection program.
So yes, I think social support and accountability are absolutely crucial. I've always had it, and in moments of weakness I reinforce it - by following a program, joining a group, hiring a trainer, recruiting a buddy, or setting a public goal.
They say your income is the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I would say that your health and fitness are too. So, if your social circle is currently a bunch of fast-food-eating, non-exercising human sofa cushions, you need to change that if you want to be fit. Not that you need to ditch old friends, but you need to spend more time with people who support you, push you to improve, and expect you to succeed, not people who are going to drag you back down to comfort themselves.
I would love to hear how you feel about social support and accountability. Do you have it? Has it helped you? How did you find it? What happens without it? How do you handle friends and family who are less than helpful?
I ate whatever I had around and whatever I was hungry for. I didn't eat eggs because I was avoiding animal products. I don't eat a lot of soy because I see it as hormone-tampering goo. The first week, I probably ate more soy than I wanted because I didn't know what to have and I hadn't discovered the alternatives. Once I found veggie burgers made out of veggies, ice cream made out of coconut, and milk made out of almonds, the soy versions I'd used before were mostly out of the picture. Still, I don't freak about having small portions of soy couple of times per week. It's having heaps of the stuff several times per day that will turn you into a pumpkin. 
There was a post somewhere, I think 
I eat pizza and ice cream every Tuesday. It's a little ritual I've enjoyed for years. Previously, it involved a massive dose of dairy fat. I would have a thin crust cheese and tomato pizza and chase it with a Blue Bunny Champ cone or a single-serving container of Ben & Jerry's. This week, I was a little apprehensive about whether plant food could cut it as a special treat. I should not have worried one bit. This Amy's Roasted Vegetable pizza was eye-rolling delicious! It's mushroom, sweet onion and roasted red pepper in kind of a smoky roasted tomato sauce. 
It was like a perfect storm. I was captivated by images of banana tacos and compelled by the research studies. And by research studies, I'm not talking about something sponsored by a supplement company and involving eight rats or fifteen fat guys. The China Study was a monumental survey of disease and death rates for 880 million people. The project was so big, it involved 650,000 workers. The results were astounding. Read it if you want your mind blown. Don't read it if you like steak. And I mean do not read it if you like steak, because it will jack up your world, and you'll blame me somehow.
And now we must address the most serious concern of going all-plants: what about the ice cream?! Never fear, I've found this stuff called Coconut Bliss that is non-dairy but nearly as rich, creamy and boggling as Ben & Jerry's. It's made with coconut milk so it's loaded with fat and it's extra tasty. I have Dark Chocolate and Naked Coconut on hand. I dropped a spoonful of Dark Chocolate on the kitchen floor last night and I picked it up and put it in my mouth before my OCD hypochondriac brain even processed what I was doing. It's that tasty.
