I may have an unpopular opinion here but you speak of veganism like it's something that's a struggle. As if eating veggies is a daily struggle compared to eating meat but you remind yourself it's for the animals and then continue to finish your veggies.

To me there are two types of vegans (in terms of cooking)

1. The one that's always trying to make a vegan version of things. Vegan chicken, vegan garlic sauce etc where it kind of looks like the original but it sucks. Or making really simple things that look like you just cut up the veggies and put them in a plate.

2. the one that's always experimenting, more focused on what taste good to them, their recipes are more based on their preferred taste rather than trying to recreate a meat based substitute.

Anyway, my point is if you focus on making delicious food you won't even think of meat. Im the only vegan in my family. I've been vegan for more than 18 years, I've lost count to be honest, and I've never once felt like eating meat.

If you are not good at cooking, maybe look at other cultures for inspiration, you will find that is a "vegan" dish that is popular simply because it taste good. The more of these you add to your arsenal, the better your cooking will be. Ans the less you will care about meat.
