Eating meat is what I know, what I have always known, and it has certainly become second nature. For the first twenty-five years of my life, I was simply eating food not meat, well at least that is how I had been conditioned through the years by family, friends, and society. At 25, I finally realized that eating meat or dairy did not align with my personal beliefs or values, now that I finally knew what they were. I am 35 now, and for the last ten years I have attempted to live a lifestyle without eating meat or dairy, been VERY unsuccessful. The longest I have lasted is 33 days without meat and that was last year. Everyone who knows me would simply tell you that I could never do this, and I would probably do the same since my diet usually consists of burgers, ribs, steaks, sushi, chicken, the list goes on. If I was stuck on an island without food for months, the first meal I would get is from Wendys - Double Bacon Cheeseburger, Large Fries, 5 piece nuggets, Chili, along with BBQ Sauce, and oh yea, Large Diet Coke. That should explain my passion for eating such food. Well Today is Dec 31st, 2010 and its time to do the impossible. Starting tomorrow, I am going to attempt my first phase no meat, still doing dairy for now but no meat- As hard as this is going to be, I thought it was only fair to keep everyone informed of my successes, failures, challenges, and miseries through this process- Lets see how long this lasts... I have faith! Thanks for everyone's support in advance, please support me instead of tempting me.
