Once you get into the habit of doing it it's not hard. The way i did it i started to grow a fear of meat because of the way the prepare it. Right im trying to give up bread and soft drinks im having a hard time though.

Like anything in life it's truly all about your perspective. I've been a vegetarian for a few years now for ethical and health reasons,and have no regrets. I find it to be pretty easy, and have a lot of fun learning about and experimenting with alternative meatless meals. Having chosen this dietary path I've become a lot more aware of the reasons and purpose for what I eat. I now try and look at food as fuel and seek out food that is best for my body, and also respective to the world around me. I won't go to far into detail about my opinions of why I feel a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle is better because I believe every individual is entitled to their own personal choices. As for eating out, I honestly don't do it often, unless I know the restaurant's food is of some quality, but when I do it's real easy just to ask to take the meat out of a meal. When I'm not being too particular and end up at a fast food joint I'll get a veggie burger(you'd be surprised at how common they are becoming), or for instance at like Taco Bell I'll substitute the meat for their potatos, and I find that's always good. But you should really evaluate if this lifestyle is truly for you if you have such a hard time committing. There's nothing wrong if you choose to eat meat, so long as you get it from a respectable source, like a local butcher/farmer. I think it's crucial to be aware of where any of your food comes from- meat, vegetables,or otherwise. Anything mass produced tends to lack nutritional and ethical value, so home-made and local really is the way to go. Hope this wasn't too long of a rant and helped give you some insight!
