First time since April.
The other day I ate meat and cheese for the first time since becoming Vegan. It wasn't out of a desire to have either, it was do to a pizza party. At work we celebrated someone's twentieth year there and had pizza. I've always had trouble turning down kindness and as I had just started working there I didn't want to come off as a asshole. I wish I hadn't, I should have politely declined and just explained why. I can safely say that I won't do that again, if only because both the meat and cheese tasted horrible to me. I felt bad for eating them, like I had failed, and they were both displeasing to my taste. It was kind of odd too, because it was something I would have readily eaten before I gave it up. But I guess sometimes you have to take a step back in order to step forward.

Re: First time since April.
Well, obviously there's nothing you can do to change what happened, so I don't think you should dwell on it.
And on the bright side, it motivated you to be more determined.

Those situations can be tough, I'm sorry that happened. Pretty much all of us end up with an experience like that along the line; it's one of those things that tests your character, and what you do after that says a lot.
I'm glad that strengthened your resolve!
