from one vegetarian to another, it was the BEST decision of my life. I have so much energy now, i dont really know why, and its really satisfying to know that i'm not eating something that used to be alive, and had a family at one point. Best of luck! it is a tough journey to stop eating meat, but its totally worth it! Good luck!! <3

my mom did it and i've been eating a LOT healthier and i'm able to be more active and it feels so good! i'm so excited. i've heard that eating meat "weighs you down" so you don't feel as good because of all the hormones especially if it's processed. do you eat eggs? what do you do for protein? i've totally cut out all pork and i'm slowly decreasing beef. chicken will be the hardest but they make broccoli and spinach nuggets and they sorta taste like "normal" nuggets! i'm really ready to do this. how long did it take you to completely stop? thanks so much xoxox

I do eat eggs, because you technically don't have to kill a chicken to get eggs, and for protein i know you don't get all of your protein from protein bars and drinks, but i started on those. I eat the pure protein brand bars and i also started eating a lot more beans because they have a lot of protein in them. what made me stop was my friend showed me a video of how they kill every animal that becomes the meat that we eat and he explained why he became a vegetarian and it really opened my eyes to how cruelly the animals are treated and killed and i decided it was time to take a stand and stop eating meat. that very same day i went home told my parents i wanted to be a vegetarian and we went on from there. from that day i've never eaten meat. that was maybe six months ago. Tofu, in my opinion is really overrated and i cant stand to look at it, but that also has a lot of protein and if you like it then, there you go!

that's outstanding. i watch ilymorgannn on youtube and i LOVE her and she made a whole video about being vegan, which i'm so not ready for, but she said baby steps. i've really being trying, i even started eating new foods like humus and organic fruits and vegetables and stuff. i'm not going to try tofu or tofurkey or any of that until i'm well into being a vegetarian. thanks so much :) your story is just another story that continues to inspire me to prosper with this and make it a lifestyle.
