It's time to come clean . . .

. . . before things become awkward.

I've tried to do it before, but have never been successful. It's only been a month and a half, but that's longer than I've ever gone before, so I think it's time to make it official. How do I do that? By blogging about it of course.

Now onto what the hell I'm talking about. I'm a little cautious to tell some of you because it might make you angry. But here it goes anyway.

I have become a vegetarian.

I know, I know, what about protein, and other things in meat that are essential to being healthy?

Peanut Butter, yogurt, fruit, vegetables, cheese, candy of course . . . this is what my diet is now based on.

Why did I do it?

After several previous attempts to become a vegetarian, I sort of gave up on the whole idea. However, as it was, I hardly ever ate meat anyway. But that's not why I did it.

I watched a movie.

If you want to continue eating meat, don't watch it. It was awful. I'm not going to get into the details, because if you want to know what it's about you should just watch it. If you don't, then why should you have to hear about it from me?

I'm not a vegan, and I haven't decided if I want to eat fish yet, but as of August 17th, 2010 I have not eaten any meat. (although, I did have some broccoli cheddar soup from work that contains chicken broth, and I'm sure that counts to some people, but it only happened once, and it was only a few spoonfuls.)

I probably would have kept this a secret longer, but then I thought about Christmas and how I don't want to have to explain myself then.

I'm still the same person, I just don't eat turkey sandwiches.

Wow - congratulations.

Most vegans I know are the better for it.

Just don't be lecturing the rest of us...

I could never do that. Indian food is very vegetarian friendly though, I'm just saying.

I think you also gave me just enough time to cancel that gigantic order of meat products I was going to send for your birthday... Now what to do...

Tofurkey! I bet it's good. I would go vegetarian if meat didn't taste so good. That's why I haven't watch any of those movies. Good luck!
