I was a vegetarian for several years, I got pregnant and my obgyn told me that meat has a lot of nutrition my baby would need to be healthy so I choked down real meat to help my baby grow, I had my baby and tried to go back to being a vegetarian but meat just always seemed to be right at my finger tips and so much easier than my usual vegetarian cooking style, so I ended up procrastinating until I got pregnant again ( both are from the same dad and we have been married since shortly after my first childs birth ) I felt so bad because I was eating so much meat, my baby seemed to demand it all the time, I tried to eat a lot of veggies but my stomach would start to hurt and I couldnt, I tried meat substitutes but the same thing happened I would just end up throwing it back up, so meat was basically all I ate all the time, now that I had my baby, ( and got mirena ) I am wanting to go back to being a vegetarian but for some reason it is proving to be very difficult, my husband and kids all love meat, my husband has seen all of the PETA.org videos and he says " oh well its the way of life " so i dont see him vegging out with me, he is not very good at being supportive of my choice either, he tells me that it is retarded and stupid etc.......Which is why I am here.....I know my mom will support me but she is not always available for support that I need to keep me on course, is there anyone here that is a vegetarian or vegan that would be able to be my support team? I dont care who you are, what you look like, color of your skin, etc.....as long as you and I get along.
