I actually went about it the other way. After seeing how bad dairy cows have it in the daily (I have in-laws who are dairy farmers) compared to cows raised for their flesh, I tried giving up just cheese, because it's the one thing I told myself I could never do. I remember specifically saying to a lactose intolerant person that I would kill myself if I couldn't eat cheese lol.
I can't imagine eating cheese now, just the smell grossed me out. Like I was cleaning a plastic case that held cheddar (my partner's) and I swear I couldn't get the stink out of my fingers for hours. Even cow milk which I used to think was neural and creamy smells and tastes funky and cheesy.
Anyway, that's all to illustrates how malleable tastes are. I think it must have been so hard to quit, because I remember what I said and did, but not how I felt. It's like the urge just faded away. Like it was a temptation one moment, and then the next I forgot what I ever liked about it.
Anyway from there reducing and eliminating other products was easy, since I'd already fought the animal product boss battle.
