Now I know some of you will not like me on the sole fact that I am an omnivore currently but whatever.
Not true! Though I'm sure they're out there, I've yet to meet a vegan who has been so since birth. What we dislike are the many many many omnivores we encounter that like to make light of what we consider to be a very serious issue and say things like "bacon tho."
We just get sad when we know people deep down love animals, but at the same time don't make a connection that we do.
That said...welcome! Any reason to reduce or stop your consumption of animals and their by-products is fine with me.
I'd recommend taking it slow, especially if you've never done anything like this before (for example, I was a vegetarian for years before going vegan). But don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, either: that's the only way you're going to find new foods that you like. At the beginning, things might seem intimidating, but don't give up! It will take you a few weeks (maybe even a few months) to get comfortable with this.
But I want to stress: you're going to have to start thinking about what you eat a lot more than you probably have been. That's really the only challenge (which, vegan or not, people should be doing this more anyway!)
When it comes to the basics, check out these resources.

Finally, go out and buy some B12 supplements or a multivitamin. This is the only nutrient that you will not be able to obtain with a plant-based diet, and it is very important. Most supplements are around 1000-2500 ug, and you only need to take about one per week (so a bottle will last you months or even a year for only a few dollars!)
This isn't too much of a problem, because the body is pretty good at storing B12 and it can take months or years for symptoms of deficiency to develop. But at the same time, don't neglect it!
Welcome to the community, and GOOD LUCK!!! :)
