This post should have been there yesterday for I began eating meat again on 25 of December.
Well, through this trial I have realized a few things. For example, that I can go without meat and fish pretty good. I actually ate eggs and diary so I got enough proteins, I guess. I consumed fish oil in capsules frequently, too.
I had almost no health problems with switching from one diet to another. Though, I am not sure about eating meat again - I felt somewhat sick yesterday evening and today morning but I think it all was about my last zachot and nerves.
And I now know that one can really acquire a habit doing something for 30 days. I do not want to eat meat now because I got used to avoid it in my meals. I actually thought that I did not eat meat all my life and almost forgot its taste. Now its taste is not that good for me.
I cannot say that the time without meat was better than the time with it. I did not really notice the difference. Maybe I gained some weight because I ate carbs as a substitution for meat.
Then I would like to mention that my friends were not supportive at all, they made stupid jokes and asked stupid questions over and over again instead of giving me strength and inspiration. I was irritated and depressed because of this. My family did not approve this at all and kept telling me the same damn things that I know quite good every weekend so that I was even thinking of not going to my parents' for a while. And mum kept forgetting that I was a vegetarian for a month. Oh, it was hell.
Anyway, I did this for myself and it kind of gave me some courage and raised my self-esteem a little bit for now I know I can do things. For a student it was not much, of course. I did not eat much meat before that, too. But opposing my parents was tough.
This trial certainly goes into my experience account. It was fun to undergo this trial. So, I'm already thinking of another one to drop bad habits and acquire good ones.
