G'day Lauren!
A few helpful hints on your awesome new diet change:
- Google is your friend when looking for vegetarian recipes.
- You will find it hard if you have ditched meat 'cold turkey' (I hate that saying!). Just remember that you've made a choice that shows you are a compassionate and thoughtful person, then just make it through the tough times at the start.
- Once you get used to the change (and it is a pretty big change if you've eaten meat every day of your life) you'll see it is really quite easy to live as a vegetarian/vegan.
- A lot of people still don't understand vegetarianism and the reasons behind it. Stay strong. Their usual way of dealing with it is to ridicule you. Don't let the haters get to you, you've shown you are an awesome person.
- Good choice by joining this site! The people here rock!
Thanks from the hundreds of animals you'll save each year!!
