I guess I will remain miffed on this one. I have gone without sex for a year. I could've cheated on my celibate boyfriend, but I remained honest and steadfast and I have a clean conscience for it. But that's why I controlled myself; I would rather have been miserable and starved for physical stimulation than felt like I betrayed the love and trust of someone who was unable to give me something I wanted. I had to be able to live with myself at the end of the day.

If you begin denying yourself things that you crave and desire, you are not practicing self control, you are creating a negative association with what you are denying yourself. You will begin to associate meat and dairy and animal products with guilt and shame. You cannot feign an accomplishment by sacrificing happiness.

Sorry, it may sound contrived being that I don't know you and there might be more to this, but I think you may be hurting yourself mentally in the long run.
