Vegatarian update

A while ago I posted how I decided to go vegetarian after I had a wierd experience while eating meat where I was repulsed by it. It's going great. I feel much better then I used to, already.
But, I feel better mostly because it's been mentally freeing. Since I've eaten meat almost my whole life, it was such an engrained thing for me. It was so much a part of my conditioning. Since I stopped eating meats, I've had to throw out this entire conditioning. Now, I am free to form a diet without my conditioned appitite for food, and it's easy to select good healthy foods most of the time. I'm eating about 50% really really good stuff and 40% organic version of mac and cheese type stuff, and 10% crap like ice cream, and it's so much better already. I feel like I am actually tasting my food for the first time in years, because I was so conditioned to the old way of eating. I'm cooking now . Every time I eat the good stuff I feel like it's better then the last. I just had some creamy roasted red pepper soup and whole wheat bread. Yum yum yum.
To anyone considering making the change - if you allow yourself to let go, it's very easy and freeing.

Vegetarians are like Christians. Some of them do it well and enjoy it and set a good example for others who are interested. But the pushy fuckers who try to tell me I am wrong for not doing it their way just piss me the fuck off!!
Enjoy your soy burger...but leave my steak alone, damnit!

yay! im so glad it's going well for u. it's hard in the beginning but it's just natural after a while.
u will have to deal w/ assholes though. i get people being like "well i'm glad ur not a preachy vegetarian HOWEVER meat is so on and so on".... you'll get people who don't wanna hear u preach about vegetarianism but will preach to u THEIR beliefs on why eating meat is "healthy"... it's silly and u just gotta shrug it off. i tell people it's a lifestyle and my reasoning for it is for me to know... they don't need to know (my reasoning is health, animal rights, evironmental rights). I found that when u answer questions like "why are you a vegetarian" ... u can be like "well animal rights" and they will be like "WOAH stop being so preachy!!"... it's weird... they ask u questions and when u answer, i guess it's something they dont wanna hear so they bitch at u for talking about it... meanwhile they are the ones that asked.
it's tough but i just block it out. my last two bf's were vegetarians and that helped a lot as far as dealing w/ them. but this current bf - all he eats is chicken... like 10 times a day, EVERY day. i dont care what he eats but he does occassionally torture me by putting it in my face and shit.

lol - really i don't preach. i answer questions, that's it. people just dont wanna hear the answer to their questions so they start getting defensive. it's weird. im definately NOT a pushy person - however, like anything, the person who thinks it's bad should also be well educated in the diet and what the factory farming does to animals, the environment and ur health. after looking at those factors, if it's STILL worth eating meat, then be my guest.
i don't bitch at people for eating meat. i just dont like being taunted by them. it's not fair - a double standard. the meat eaters don't want u to be pushy and preachy... but they are that to ME!

good for you, if I could take time to prepare shit I would do the same thing...I eat more salads now...I still feel the same..but I think just balancing your diet is the best thing.. Big deal, I just beed to quit fuking cigarettes, and I would be healthier...I exercise a lot, I am getting into riding bicycles..besides women do not like a fat fucker..I am not fat..I have lost a bunch of weight since i was forced to quit smoking pot..I have never been that fat anyway,, but, I am really cutting down on smoking to the point I can quit...and getting into biking, why because I like it, it is so free..you can go anywhere you damn well please, it is total freedom... and I like to go hiking and camping too...time to go clubbing too..I have a free ride back from a club that is nearby...I just found out..I could take the bus there and they will bring you home in a van for free, well of course the expence of the club membership... fuck about time there are clubs that care about thier patrons..this club has everything for everybody too..and it is a restaraunt on the side..fuck, I have been missing out..

lol... i won't go there.
but he's lean as ever. he also runs a few miles in the morning and surfs a few days a week. he's in VERY good shape and is very thin too. but i just worry bc he takes NO supplements (doesn't believe in them) and RARELY eats ANY veggies or fruit. being physically fit is 1 thing but nutritional wise... i hope it doesnt come to kick him in the ass.

Actually it's a lot like tripping on opiates.
When you eat meat, especially red meat, some of the protiens break down into chemicals that activate the opiate receptors in your brain.
Same with milk and cheese. Casomophin or something like that.

Yeah, thats cool Del. I don't have a beef with the vegetarian lifestyle myself (sorry for the bad pun there). I respect anyone who cares enough to have the determination to stick to a diet like that. And I'm not a preachy meat eater either. Hey, whatever works for you, I say do it! Actually, we probably could have a pretty enjoyable dinner together.
As far as the health benefits go...if I was that worried about my health I'd probably stop smoking first!

It's working out great here too man! The desire to eat meat has diminished to near-zilch in the past month, and if I desire any type of meat it's fish... which I still eat with pleasure. Mm, I ate some vegetarian sushi the other day.

What makes you think all vegetarian's are PETA freaks? When i was a vegetarian it wasn't because of the killing of animals.
