Today is exactly 5 months of me being a vegeterian. I never made it so far, I must say I'm proud, but simply because I didn't give in the pressure, 'cause my folks and the rest of the family consider it damn weird. I'm so thankful to my mama, though, because she helped me a lot by cooking me things I need to eat now. I never really liked the taste of meat so the transition wasn't so hard for me. Anyway, I feel great and I have much more respect for myself and others now! Life is gooood!
I think thats great! I am even newer than you to vegetarianism. (only one day) But it shouldn't be that hard for me either cause I never liked much meat....except for chicken which I will miss, but I could never eat it again knowing what I know now. Good luck to you!!
w0000t! Way to go Zinka, way to go Twila! Yah, the hardest part is pressure from family, isn't it? But they give up after a while, if you're stronger than them.
Spaceduck, I agree. When I first told my mom she gave me a weird look and said "so what are you gonna eat now?" Like I was gonna starve or shrivel up into nothing. I also think its gonna be hard during the holidays when meat is usually the center of the dinnertable. wahhhh! I just keep thinking of all the freaked out stares and questions! (I'm not a big talker nevermind when it comes to confrontation! I don't do well defending myself to many people at once.....stage fright)
Damn, that's true. Twila, don't let them tell you what to do, especially when you feel it's the right thing for you. I have never felt more proud of myself than now because of this. Now I can say that my love for animals and all living beings is pure. Oh and btw, thank you guys for support you've shown here, I'm not used to it except from few of my closest friends.
