How to become a vegetarian
It made me
relieved
 "Chewing on muscle suddenly grossed me out—this had been alive only days ago, walking around."
How I did it: I had been working on this already for several weeks. I was at a point where i was eating meat only once every few days, while i built up more veggie dishes. Lessons & tips: Well, we'll see how this goes. I went to the grocery store and stocked up on a huge variety of veggie staples. There's so much instant stuff now too. I often wind up making a quick dinner for myself, and even that is feasible. Always ate a lot of Indian, Thai & Chinese food and these i can still enjoy.

How I did it: Just dont eat the meat. Its hard, specially when your hungry and theres nothing to eat. But know some fast ways to cooke simple food, and your good to go. Also starting off I ate a ton of Amy's freezer foods. Read how I did it…
ontheradio watched Into The Wild and is having second thoughts...
How I did it: I just quit cold turkey. I don't know how long you have to have been meat free to be considered a vegetarian, but I'm just gonna call this goal done. In order to prepare, I googled all kinds of easy recipes and inspirational quotes about why people decided to "go veg" and it was all very helpful. It took some time to convince my mother that I was getting all my protein, vitamins, calcium, etc. But … Read how I did it…
How I did it: at first I just stopped eating red meats, then I stopped eating chicken, then fish, now I'm completely meat free and have been for 4 years! It took a little bit of me arguing with my parents about it too, they didn't like the fact that I wasn't going to eat meat, but I stuck with it, and I'm now a vegetarian! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Cold turkey. Stopped eating meat for nearly a year. The experience left me feeling much healthier although, raised a meat eater I was soon unable to resist the urges when I dining out. I hope to give it a second chance someday soon, and am thankful it introduced me to soy and all it's glory! Read how I did it…
TryingToDoThings is Thinking deliberetly.
How I did it: I never felt "good" about eating meat (although, I'm not sure most people do), I always thought it wasn't quite right.So, when I heard more about vegetarianism and talked with people pro-animal rights I became more aware of it. I think unawareness is the enemy - I saw the meat on my plate and it doesn't resemble the animal it was - I didn't do the "dirty work" myself - so I was distanced from the cold hard reality of it.I just began looki… Read how I did it…
Ryan Laur is living his life!
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!!!!
ohmymelissaaa is lalalalalala.
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.
slickgl hasn't had meat or soda in almost a month.
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.
