moltar i applaud your efforts to make a lifestyle change.
but the word "vegan" has meaning -- it means that you do not eat any animal products.
until you actually give up fish, i would ask that you not call yourself "vegan." doing so just contributes to the misunderstanding of that word. eating fish is not vegan. it's like saying you are pregnant and male -- just doesnt compute.
i'm not trying at all to be snarky, just accurate. in fact, i am in the same boat. i stay away from all meat and have for almost a year, but i still occasionally have cheese and/or eggs. for this reason i refer to myself as vegetarian, or say "i dont eat meat" or say "nearly vegan" or just dont say anything at all.
