    I really want to become vegetarian.I decided it soon when I was in France,in one castle.There were so many taxidermied animals in the chambers.I adore the animals and I don't want to eat them.The problem is that my will is quite weak and if I become a vegetarian tomorrow, I'll give up very soon.One friend of mine told me to make it slowly.So I decided to keep the fast for one year at most.I think that I won't give up if I've already experienced it for one certain period in time-the fast in Bulgaria are 1/3 from the year.Then I'll become vegetarian,if everything is all right.
    My friends tell me that I musn't do that, because that's the human nature,but I won't let them change my opinion.I want from you to give me advices, to tell me more reasons to become vegetarian, to support me because I don't want give up!I really want to stop eat meat,and maybe that will be hard for me.

    how about you tell your friends to look at the health statistics of people who eat that shit. My main reason for being vegetarian isn't even about animals, it's about me not wanting to put that shit in my body. It's so gross, and your friends need a wake up call. Look at the health benefits of being a vegetarian/vegan and tell me that dosen't sound great.

    www.cok.net is a good resource for those just starting out.
    www.vegweb.com has lots of good recipes.

    Take it one day at a time and be positive. Convince yourself it will be easy and you can do it, then that will be true. :)
    It gets easier over time, once you get into the habit and find good things to eat.

    Good luck :)
    Any more questions feel free to ask.

    if you stick with it i promise that in about 6 months time (give or take a bit) you will look back and wonder how you ever looked at meat as food. if you ever need some encouragement peta has videos you can watch on their website....if you care about animals eating meat will be hard to do once you seen the videos.

    one friend told me that if I don't eat meat for 6 months I won't eat that again.
    My sister was a vegetarian for 3 years, but not yet.
    I think I'll stop eat meat soon.Maybe after the big fast,or even the next week.I feel guilty after eating meat.I don't eat it often.Yesterday I thought-that's only a food,I can stop it!One I passed 3 weeks eating only biscuits/I was in France and I have no money for buying food/.I'll wach the videos,I think that will help me.Thanks for the advices.I'll always be interested to learn more.

    read the FAQ, people. It's there for a reason! Lots of info and diet links.

    as a 23-year veggie with a couple slips (one intentional...long story) meat might or might not contine to be a (passed over) option for you. You might or might not see it as "food" after a while. No magic numbers, I'm afraid.

    I know plenty of long-termers who can occasionally make a relative happy or get through an omni lunch interview with few ill effects.
    I don't judge them as I'm not in their shoes, but they come through fine.

    Hey,I think I can't eat meat again.I can't wait month to prepare before stop it.Yesterday,I cooked my first meal as a vegetarian.Today,I bought my first vegetarian food.The people continues to say to me that I must eat meat, but after talking with one vegetarian from 13 years, my hesitations felt down.It will be good for my life and the life of the animals.I thought yesterday that if there were some creatures in the world who eat humans, people will say that this is cruel.Then,why they say that eating animals is the human nature?
    I don't eat meat now.I hope I'll be strong and I won't give up.
