I want to be vegan, how can I start? (hexbear.net)

meat/carnismBackground: I come from a bengali family so my diet basically consisted of curry with various different meats (lamb, chicken, beef, duck, pigeon and sometimes fish) with some sides like potatos, lentils, flatbread etc. My parents have mostly moved away from meat due to their health but I feel like I'm only getting worse. My university advertises meat and non-vegan foods a lot so it feels impossible for me to switch/don't know how to switch.

I really want to stop eating meat and sometimes I'm able to not eat meat for a couple days but it doesn't last because I just give up whenever my parents cook something really nice or I'm eating with friends.

So how do I start a vegan diet and actually stick to it? Mostly looking for starter vegan foods that I can use to wean myself off from my carnism while studying at university.

Textured proteins have the textural feel of meat and when seasoned just right you won't really notice. I really like jackfruit nuggets, where I live they're way cheaper than meat ones and they scratch the nugget itch perfectly.
