Do you have any advice for me? I''ve been thinking about becoming a vegetarian for a very long time. There is just one huge problem....I LOVE meat.
My reason for wanting to become a vegetarian is because I just have never felt right about eating animals. So I have been struggling with this tug of war for a long time, and have hopefully decided that my love for animals is more passionate than my love for the taste of meat.
I think about it sometimes, and I know that getting meat at a store is so much easier than going out and killing my own animal, which is probably why I''ve ignored it for so long. I know that I wouldn''t eat meat if I actually had to kill the animal myself, so I''m starting to ask myself why I even eat it in the first place. I mean, I get sad when FI brings home fish that he caught at a lake. And when we go fishing on the ocean, I sneak and let some of the bait free when FI isn''t looking.
This is coming from someone who likes their steak medium rare. In fact, just typing that made my mouth water. What''s wrong with me??? I''m terrified of failure....and I really don''t know if I''ll be able to do it. But I think I should at least try.
So, I guess my question is, does anyone have any advice on how to make a (very) slow transition into being vegetarian? Maybe some good recipes or something? I should probably mention that I hate tofu, so there goes any typical vegetarian meals. Should I just avoid one type of meat and then gradually start to omit others from my diet as well?
I''d appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks
