Become a vegetarian ... again.

I am over three weeks into being a vegetarian again and I can’t imagine going back to eating meat. Meat just seems more and more unappealing as the days go by. Even the scent is starting to gross me out a little.
The only weird thing is that a couple people have noticed that I don’t eat meat and then asked “are you a vegetarian or something?” Well, yes, in fact, I am a vegetarian. They look at me a little strangely, like they’ve never seen a vegetarian before, but don’t bug me about it.
I’m feeling very good about this decision and about meeting this goal. I’m really glad I made the switch … again.

and counting. I have been putting more thought into this goal and working harder on achieving it. I checked out a couple vegetarian cookbooks from the library and am looking forward to making a few dishes I’ve found in them. I’ve also informed my parents, since I live and eat with them, that I’m going vegetarian again.

I notice that I’ve become much more aware of what I’m actually putting in my mouth now that I’m making a conscious decision not to eat meat. I’m choosing fresh fruit over cookies and feeling much better about myself.

I’m also feeling better physically and it’s only been three days. That’s a big incentive to keep going with this diet change. Knowing that this is also helping me to reduce my ecological footprint is also cool.

But at least it’s a start. I’ve very recently started drastically cutting my meat consumption. I’m trying very hard to replace the meat with other, healthier foods. I want to make sure that I get enough nutrients and do this whole vegetarian switch-over properly.
