Become a vegetarian ... again.

this last school year I had to stop being a vegetarian because i wasnt able to maintain a healthy diet and i became anemic. I was a veggie for 5 years and gave it up for a year but I want to get back into it… not sure how to start again

Ive been a month with this goal & to be honest it was so much easier then I expected !
Im not saying the bacon rolls wern’t tempting & I still love the smell, but I felt good knowing I could ‘do’ without.
As a family we have only had to make slight adjustments to meal times, almost half our meals were often vegetarian to begin with, so the transition has been fairly smooth.
I wish Id done it sooner : )

So, Im marking this as done….... YaY !

seriously considering this again since i make these delicious fat nasty sexy veggie burgers from scratch. even carnaivores love them.

with a lovely birthday meal out,
lunch with a friend,
Sunday morning…

and no meat.
going good.

i tried erasing meat off my diet for about a week. until one day that i came home starving and my mom had this awesome tacos there waiting for me. i was deliciously disappointed in myself :( so i figure that the best approach would be a systematic desensitization in which i stop eating meat little by little! :)

...and no bacon !

YaY me.

For many years I was a vegetarian, but then this

happened.
My son is almost nine & Im still eating meat.
I think it’s about time I stopped.

I find meat hard to prepare & touch.
I often think Im a hypocrite for
continuing to eat it.
Whilst I eat very little meat, I still
do enjoy my Sunday bacon sandwiches.
These are my weakness.
So, Im going to try.
Starting today.

i love lots of vegetarian dishes and i cook them well. we’ll see.

I gave it up a long time ago, tried again, gave it up again.
I had a four-year streak for a while. Watched a show this week about animal cruelty and it really cut me to the quick. I can’t allow myself to hurt and kill the innocent because it’s a habit or because it’s a craving or because I’m just plan apathetic or my life is chaotic. I need to stop.

Well, it’s only been about 3 days, but I’ve been getting sick of meat for awhile. I kept eating it because it was easy, but it’s just not good. Plus with all the junk they’re doing to it these days, it just doesn’t seem wise to keep eating meat. I was holding out because I got into fish recently, but even fish isn’t so good anymore. I don’t know if I’ll be a vegetarian forever, but when I don’t eat meat, it’s so much easier not to eat candy, soda, or other junk. I think my health is going to take a turn for the better now, since it took a turn for the worse when I went back to meat 3 years ago.
