Accidentally bought a non vegan food
I don’t even know if this is OCD but it feels like it’s latching onto it. And for contest I’ve been vegan for four and a half years. After I go to the gym sometimes I go to the supermarket next to it to get myself a treat, and today I went in planning to get a specific brand of protein bar, vegan obviously. But they didn’t have the one I wanted so I was looking at other things and being indecisive (classic OCD). Eventually I picked a protein chocolate cookie that I thought looked good. When I got back home and opened it to eat, I don’t know why but I looked at the description of it on the front and had some sort of intuition to check the ingredients, and noticed it wasn’t vegan. It was the brand MyProtein which also has a separate range called MyVegan, but the packaging difference is really obvious and I don’t know how I didn’t realise in the shop. Now my brain is telling me I meant to buy it and I wanted to eat something non vegan. But this is so not true because I haven’t wanted to eat anything not vegan since going vegan and I’ve only ever almost eaten non vegan things when other people have got them for me. I didn’t actually eat any of this cookie but I feel so guilty. My boyfriend is vegan too and because of the guilty I feel simultaneously like I need to tell him about this but also like I need to keep it secret.
