    Ryan Laur is living his life!

    ok 3 days ago

    so I am not a vegetarian yet, but I am extremely close. I basically have involuntarily become a vegetarian because I buy all organic food, and the only meat that is ever in my food is in my soup and occasional sandwich.

    I’M SO CLOSE!!!!



    I love animals. I love myself too. 1 week ago

    That’s why I want to become a vegetarian.



    ohmymelissaaa is lalalalalala.

    no more meat! 1 week ago

    It was weird.. i kept talking about how i wanted to do it but i could never reall do it because i would see like a delicious meal of steak or something (yuck) and say “oh i’ll start tomorrow”. It kept going on until one day i was chewing steak and i realized that i didnt like it AT ALL. So i just stopped.

    I savor meat. I can’t deny it; I’ll probably enjoy the taste of meat until the day I die. Still, that having being said, I do at least want to try vegetarianism for at least a year. I think I’m going to start at school this fall, so that way it’ll be a little easier (as I’ll be more in control of what I eat than I am when living with my parents). Mostly I’m doing it for health reasons, though I can empathize with the ethical reasons as well.

    It's been about a month 2 weeks ago

    and I’ve hit the 20 pounds lost mark. It’s also from cutting out a lot of sugar, but not eating meat means I don’t eat a lot of unhealthy foods that I was eating.

    I don’t remember what day I started this. It has happened so suddenly and naturally, with my mentality towards food completely flipping all at once, that I’ve changed without looking back. This goal has been at the bottom of my list until now, although it’s been the biggest day-to-day goal in my life for some time. I’ve mostly avoided dairy, except in some prepared products and a couple of times when I’ve had a really bad day and wanted something made with cheese (ahh, caesin, you sooth my nerves!). I’ve found that it takes a lot more of attention to tend to my diet, but everything is more satisfying. Eating can often be tiring (a huge salad is exhausting to eat), and I don’t crave food nearly at all. I need to make sure that respect my need for food. I don’t handle a day without taking enough food to work anymore. It’s going great, though. I don’t miss meat, and it often disgusts me.

    Sometimes I long for meat and such but I think that’s just an illusion. It’s only because I’m used to eating it. I don’t need it. Actually, no one needs it.

    So far I’ve been saving one animal at a time. Right now I don’t eat chickens or pigs.
