Still going strong!!

Yes, I am going strong! It will be two months next week since I haven't touched any meat product. I am not even craving for it. I don't even think or say that I wish I can eat this. I think this reaction is mainly because I keep thinking how these animals suffer before they are killed and packaged. So I can't even think about eating an animal. If I had been forced to become a vegetarian, I would have wished and craved for meat all the time. But this was my CHOICE, and in my eyes it is a good one. I agree that it gets difficult going outside to eat because for me it is not that "I will not eat meat", for me it is that this restaurant or establishment serves meat. So it gets difficult for me to go to a restaurant. And let me tell you, I love eating out. But on the bright side: I eat more at home, saving money, and feel good about eating healthy. I also feel that my clothes are fitting me nicely now :) That is a PLUS point.

My co-workers appreciates that I don't eat meat anymore but at the same time mentions that they wouldn't be able to live without meat for two months. I think they can! I think if they realize what they are eating or see with their eyes how these animals are tortured, they would have a change of heart.

I know I can't change anybody's mind or opinions, but hey I can get the information out there so people can make a conscience choice. But please don't laugh if you see me in different light now.

I felt good yesterday, when mum told me that how I changed her. Every time she eats meat, she thinks about me and my cause. It still doesn't stop her from eating meat but hey she is thinking about it. You never know eventually she will stop (wishful thinking!).
