I am beginning to dislike looking at and handling raw meat. It is really disgusting and I also feel guilty.

How I did it: At first it wasn't easy. I love the taste of meat but afterwards i'd feel an annoying pang of guilt. After i decided to stop the pangs for good I'd accidently eat a tv dinner containing meat or a soup with chicken broth, but after about four days I learned to watch myself and it just got easier. This is coming from someone who used to eat a cheeseburger at least once a week! I love being a vegetarian. It's been over a year. * I'm not one … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'd tried it once, a foolish attempt, I was pushing it, but several weeks later it came naturally; I'm even almost certain I was born to be a vegetarian - you should see my herbivore teeth :) I saw a gruesome account on how a human being dies when hanged. It got to me - I thought about all the terrible ways animals die to become food for humans. I hated myself for being a part of this. Now, nine years later, I am still passionate about th… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Learning about personal nutrition and the way animals are regularly mistreated and abused is all fine, but for me the most compelling reason to go veg was for the environmental impact that animal agriculture has on our planet. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just took it one day at a time. That's what you have to ddo. I looooved McDonald's and bad cheeseburgers but I just rejected them one by one. I'm not going to lie, I did slip up every once in a while but then I felt so gross after I ate it. I found out that the veggie burgers made it so much easier. Its all about volume. Fill those puppies with lettuce, pickles and ketchup.. Good Luck Everyone!! Read how I did it…

Well, what can I say. I did pretty well all day yesterday, until I got hungry. I get really impulsive when I am hungry and I think this is where my problem is. I worked and didn’t make time to prepare anything. I actually hadn’t even gone to get groceries yet. I planned to do it before work, but didn’t get up in time. Like I said, I did well during the day, but after work I went to the store. It was too long between meals and I scarfed up a bunch of pizza rolls. It’s going to be a process with little hiccups along the way. I am okay with that. I am learning about myself.

i was a vegetarian before and unfortunatly gave in. i have decided that today will be my last day eating meat. starting on monday i will officially be a vegetarian. i love animals and hate the abuse they endure so i can have a rodeo burger from burger king. save the animals!
There is only one thing stopping me from becoming a full-on vegetarian: my love of seafood.
paisley_01 In Melbourne for work.
I want to do this because I find that eating meat, is such a waste of a life. The fact that an animal is breed exclusively for our consumption really tugs at my heart strings. And generally, their life is not that good either…... I won’t get too much on my high horse about this matter. But this is one thing that I feel strongly about – so why not for once, do something about an issue I feel really strongly about?
Plus I have spent weeks not eating meat before and you know what? I really didn’t miss it. The only thing is that meat is convenient because the majority of mainstream meals use it as the core of all meals.
But today is the day and I am going to try and remove meat from my diet. Wish me luck…...
It’s really hard. Especially after eating meat for so long and not really knowing what to put in it’s place… Yet the more I think about life, and the things I eat; The more I feel we’re not meant to eat animals…
I started slowly but removing beef, then pork, then chicken. I’m going to remain eating fish. I feel that if I do this for 30 days I can do it forever. I just need to see those sad PETA videos to be focused : )

I want to become a vegetarian, mainly because i dont want my lunch to be coming from a butchery.
There is something very wrong about killing another being just to eat it.
Although Im trying to become Lean. Which requires a high Protein diet, Which is in chicken and fish.
But like I’ve not used whey protein to gain muscle.and im going for a natural diet.Like milk.etc. In the same way, Im quitting Non – Veg food.
So Here I am today, its day 1. of becoming a vegetarian.
“YES WE CAN”
sharbinholley is ready for some changes.
I did do this for about a year and I never commented on this goal. I never took it off because I rarely came back to this site. I guess I got too busy. I have actually started eating meat again and will have to revisit this goal later because my main objective is to lose some weight first and foremost. I’ve done it before with only eating grilled chicken breasts so I am going to go back to that and see what happens.
I’ve been vegetarian since I was 13 and vegan since I was 17. So worth doing if you like feeling, healthy, energised, and compassionate!
