I decided to become a vegetarian 6 days ago. I haven't felt so happy and proud of myself in a long time I can't believe how relieved I feel. I'm no longer closing my eyes when I eat and pushing my old vegetarian thoughts away so I can enjoy a meal. Now I eat a meal and I'm proud. When I see my kids playing with their toy cow I wont have that guilty feeling anymore. I know I may sound a little crazy but I was a vegetarian and once I started eating meat again I have always had this little feeling in the back of my mind. I was really good at pushing it away but there were some things I could never do like cleaning the turkey for the holiday meals. I always had my mom do that for me or I would never be able to eat it during dinner. But I'm finally happy. I never have to worry about that again because I don't eat meat.
One major thing that I want people to understand is that I wont just pick meat off my food to make it vegetarian or eat something cooked in say chicken stock. For example: pretend you order a salad and it came with bits of cat on it, would you simply pick off the meat and then eat the salad? You might think that's disgusting. This is exactly how I feel about all meat. I also want people to understand that I don't mean to be rude if I wont eat something it's just the choice I made.
