I have been thinking about this for a while now, becoming a vegetarian. I tried it years ago back in 2012 and succeeded for about a year. It wasn't easy but it did come with a few perks: like losing weight and no one would attempt to steal my quorn food. The problem that I came across the most was I was never really a big fan of vegetables, which proves difficult if you're a vegetarian because the majority of your diet is filled up with vegetables. In more recent years I have expanded my taste buds and found that there a quite a few vegetables that I do enjoy.
This isn't me giving up meat or becoming a full-time vegetarian. From time to time I get the guilt of eating meat, but clearly not enough since I continue to do so. I feel as though for a while I haven't been in the right situation (financial as well as life really) and as I become to enter my second year at University I have decided to give it a go. Realistically, I'll never be able to cut meat completely out of my diet because a girl loves her some chicken. My aim is to have a couple of days out of my week where I don't eat meat. Nothing too drastic just enough to change up my diet and save a few more animals.
I'll be cooking for myself for the next two years so I won't be limited by being catered for, I will also be working alongside my degree so I can enjoy a few finer things in life. My finer things I mean actually buying fresh fruit and veg on a daily basis.
I am excited, try some new things and just try and get my shit together. My eating habits aren't the best, and for a while now I have really begun to notice that. I want to make a change. It's all dandy attending gym and working out at home but that will only go to waste if I don't fix up my eating habits too. It's just to feel better and to be honest, I enjoy cooking when I get the chance, this allows me to explore and experiment with new recipes.
By the way, just so you know I am not going to be one of those people who push vegetarianism in your face, I am not going to announce it at every meal. Technically I'll not even be a real vegetarian, I'll be a part-timer.
