vegetarian.

I am a vegetarian, officially starting today.

My reasoning:
1) Meat causes weight gain, period. My mind didn’t just conjure these facts up, I read it in several articles about the subject. And i want to be skinny.

2) Not only do i want to be skinny, i really want to be healthy. I’ve changed my diet in a few ways, including drinking soy milk instead of regular, eating organic foods, and drinking a LOT of green tea. Meat contains hundreds of steroids and chemicals that reeeeally mess you up, some of which are even linked to cancer. So to be healthy and stay at a good weight, meat’s gotta go.

3) Not that i’m an avid supporter of Peta because i’m truly not, but we’ve all seen the videos. They’re horrific. My little sister has been a vegetarian for a few years now, and i’ve always said i admire her passion for something she truly believes in, being against the abuse of animals. I just never thought i could do it myself. But after reading this amazing book, Skinny Bitch (don’t let the title fool you, it contains tons of real facts and statistics), and especially reading the line, “before you say ‘i could never give up meat,’ realize that nearly every single vegetarian on the planet said those same words,” i realized that i am one of those people and i can make a difference (silly as it sounds) if i just buck up and do it.
