This is a difficult choice, I'm still thinking of how to live without meat and how to adapt , but the fact that I will be the only one ban from eating meat is disheartening, it's so personal.
It feels really partial for only one person to be ban from enjoying meat in the first place. Ajusting and getting use to avoiding meat will be really difficult because I love meat, I enjoy meat, I wouldn't want to stop eating meat.
Stopping me from eating meat, mean that I will stop eating suya, fried chicken, turkey, assorted goat meat and cow meat. They can ban only fish, I won't be affected, I hate fish.
Adaptation is the only option I would have at this point, but that wouldn't be easy.
The beginning stage will be so much work and stressful, I will always look back especially when I see others savouring meats.
If this is ever going to happen, I will just wear my self control cap, because without self control I won't be able to succeed in this mission, without self control. I will distance myself from others eating meat, to avoid temptation and prevent constant reminder. I will have to adapt and find other alternatives like eggs, vegetables, mushrooms and other animals sources of protein.
The most annoying aspect of this ban from meat is the limited support I will get from family and friends, that part is really annoying, when you have a partner going through same path or journey it will make everything much easier and simple to exercute the journey would be great and easier with support,I can't do this alone, so I would look for a vegan or vegetarian for support, to fellow and encourag me.
There are vegetarians who survive by same rule and their life haven't ended , so why won't I survive, I just have to be more creative while cooking, try the forget the pleasure of meat, be it beef, chicken, turkey, goat and any other meat .
I will learn to derive pleasure in eating eggs, various types vegetables, learn to make my food tastier and sweeter without meats.
I just have to learn how to live and survive as a vegetarian, it might seem weird from the beginning, seem like a punishment, since it's part of healthy living, I will focus more on the benefits, makes more research on it and get to know better about being a vegan.
After the emotional rollercoaster, I will focus on making plant based protein more appetizing and enjoyable, get tips and watch tutorials, make egg my meat, I wasn't raised eating much mushrooms, it will be new to me, but I will try eating it , there's always a beginning.
Try as much as I can to replace animal protein with eggs and milk like the vegans, yoghurt , but none of this option would replace meat, especially chicken and turkey meat.
While trying to live by the rules, definitely there will be days that I will eat meat secretly, break the rules especially if I'm tempted to, I'm human and adaptation doesn't happen so fast.
I can't get it correct in one day , maybe I will begin to get right but not in days, weeks or months.
It's not going to be an easy one for me , especially because I'm alone in the journey, but if I have partners and support it will be easier to achieve.
Thanks for reading ♥️
