I've been a vegetarian for over two years now. Let me tell you something its hard.
Temptation is everywhere and its way cheaper. There isnt a dollar menu at mcdonalds for vegetarians.
Theres more to this just not eating meat, no fish, lard, gelatin, powders, and broth.
Almost everything has meat in it, even soups(which i loved). I havent eaten gummy bears for two years now, honestly i dont remember how meat taste. And frankly the smell of it sometimes makes me gage. I became anemic for the first few months and lost weight, but dont worry im fine and over weight now.
Butttttttt
You gotta be a good vegetarian i learned this quickly taking my supplements eating healthy organic foods, eating vegetarian soy meats and i even began working out.
This food life style was a positive and very fulfilling(not wondering if the animals was in pain before becoming my dinner i awesome)
Buttttttt
like i said eating out is difficult especially fast food, fries and salad get tiring quick
eating vegi foods is costly too a box of vegi nuggets is about 4 to 5 dollars for 10 pieces versus a box 35 chicken nuggets for the same amount. I know all the secret vegi menus and food places and the substitutions for food.
When im hungry and broke(like right now) thoughts of a dollar meal soundsss good
Butttttt
Really come on Ive been a vegetarian for 2 years im not gonna give that easily
Its a difficult life style for chubby college kid buts its worth it
I like to think i do my part for saving this planet(vegi diet has a lesser impact on earth)
Im hungry but strong, a salad is a friend indeed.

Yes, vegetarianism is hard. But, I admire you for doing it. I gave up meat and poultry two years ago and it is amazing how that cuts down choices in the quick meal out zone. (I do eat fish, but not fish sticks!)
I also eat organic as much as possible and that's a challenge too because it's so costly. We started a huge garden to make it a little easier, but we didn't count on our friendly neighborhood mole.
wow...lol...i know that being a vegetarian is hard i tried not to eat meat for liek a week and couldn't do it...i think mostly because i just love meat...i definietely have respect for you for doing it but i couldn't ..i have a coworker that is also a vegetarian....i understood everything about your blog except for one thing....what made you want to become a vegetarian?...oh and by the way your not fat...lol
I tried it once..I wasn't as specific you were though. You know, just steamed rice/vegetables, salads and fruit. The salads got interesting after awhile of creative inspiration from the food network channel but I couldn't do it. I commend your success and continuation of this admirable life style. I lost some weight but I lost a lot of energy too so I wasn't able to play my favorite sport...soccer.
