veggie for a week

[perky_peach]

I made a conscious decision last week to see if I could go vegetarian for a week, starting today. I always wondered if I could pull it off and what it'd be like to not eat any meat for a week (or even for the rest of my life). Getting food at school is a piece of cake, but eating dinner is going be quite the pickle :\ I mentioned it to my mom

Good luck. I have a friend who tried to go vegan for a week and he said it was really hard, and he was already a vegetarian to begin with.

I originally replied to your comment with something else, but since everyone misunderstood me (which meant I misunderstand you too), I just deleted it. But yeah, I meant vegetarian, not vegan as in what sally specified below. I was just using it as a short form. oh well, you know what I mean now :)

Actually, if you're going to go vegan, you can't have ice cream, cheese, or scrambled eggs. I'm not sure about the chocolate b/c some may or may not contain milk ingredients.
If you're going to eat all those things, you're just going vegetarian. Vegans don't eat meat or animal products (i.e. anything that comes from animals in addition to the animals themselves).

Thanks sweetie ;)

Yes, I know the difference, but I wasn't using vegan in this context. I was using it simply as a short form of vegetarian. Maybe I'll just type out the whole word from now on so ppl don't misunderstand me. :\

I've got relatives who are vegetarians...and they're crazy. But you can eat fish, and all that seafood type stuff. It's really good for you. Good luck.

For real, I can eat seafood?? o_O

[okaeri_nasai]

I was gonna say what linds has already said about seafood being ok to have, but obviously she got to it before me. but yes, good luck!

thank you!! :)

Oh yeah, Joyce said something about an e-mail that you sent out last night or something? I checked my hotmail and didn't see anything, but maybe you sent it to my other e-mail?
