So for the past couple of years I have gone back and forth in my mind considering changing to a vegetarian diet. Within the past year I have significantly reduced my intake of meat and cut out red meat completely. The few times since making this change that I have actually eaten red meat or eaten more than one meal a day that had meat I noticed a huge change in my body. I noticed I would feel way more full and sluggish...and just plain gross. About a year ago I tried to completely cut meat out of my diet...and it went good for about a week. But being someone who is always on the go and does not cook very much I ran out of ideas of things to eat. I was so used to meat being the main part of my meal that I literally felt like I was starving myself. So I gave up and started eating meat again, just not near as much. However in the past year I have found a lot of meals that I love that are vegetarian...such as a veggie sub from subway, or a vegetarian burrito at chipotle...both are amazing! Lately I have for whatever reason been eating more meat, and even red meat and I just feel so tired and gross. So I think I am finally ready for a change. To be honest at this very moment the thought of meat grosses me out. I want to make this change b/c I just want to feel healthier. So tonight I made a "pledge" on goveg.com and that pledge is to go vegetarian for 30 days. So starting in the morning and for the next 30 days I will be a vegetarian. Depending on how these 30 days go and how I feel I might make it a permanent change in my life. I am excited about this and just hope I dont get lazy with looking for new things to eat and just go back to my norm of grilled chicken haha. So if you have any advice or comments on this subject I would love to hear! Or maybe some recipes or restaurants that offer some good vegetarian dishes would be really helpful! **Sidenote: we just made reservations for our anniversary at Ruth Chris Steakhouse...only one of the best steakhouses in the country...this might have been a bad time to decide to do this haha!! Anyways I would love to hear from some vegetarians on why they became a vegetarian and any changes they noticed with their body. Feel free to comment!!
