Vegetarianism:)

I've been a vegetarian for almost a year, and I'd like to share that fact! Some people are quite rude when I tell them this. Some ask how I can deal with finding foods that agree with my diet, and how I stand not eating meat. Let me tell you: it's not as hard as you think:)
It all started when I watched a documentary on America's meat industry. I'd thought about going vegetarian before, and this movie confirmed my ideas. I am disgusted by everything that goes in in those factories. In my mind it's not worth the guilt and (go ahead, laugh) emotional pain I feel for the life that has to deal with that. It's a massacre everyday, and I hate the idea. So I decided: I would not be a part of that.
At first it was hard for me to take meat out of my diet, and I found I was hungry all the time. I ate way too many carbs. After a while it got easier, though, and I was able to find foods that I enjoyed eating.
These days I eat a lot of salads, healthy cereal like cheerios, cottage cheese, yogurt not containing gelatin, peanut-butter and jelley (natural peanut-butter), and wheat triscuits with toppings like cottage cheese ect. Mexican food is also an option. If you're looking to loose weight vegetarian is also an option, seeing that you get enough protein. I lost 5-10 lbs:)
So here is my lunch for tomorrow. Yes, I do eat eggs. I know it's probably not right, but my mom wont let me be vegan right now, as I run alot. Tonight for supper I ate a piece of cinnamon-raisin toast with swiss cheese on it:)
