Vegetarianism

So I've been a vegetarian for approximately 2 and 1/2 weeks and this is what I've learned:

1) It's practically impossible to eat out at a restaurant. Almost everything on the menu is mixed with some sort of meat product, even those that don't seem like they would. For fast food, Burger King carries Morning Star veggie burgers and Sonic has a kid's grilled cheese meal. That's about it. Thank goodness for Wegmans.

2) Being a vegetarian is not nearly as hard as one might think. Every once in a while I get a massive craving for hot dogs, but it's not overwhelming. If I had to give up cheese though, I think I'd go postal.

3) I've lost 5 lbs.

4) My tummy feels much better. My gastro issues have improved significantly in the past few days as I'm getting more and more used to it.

I won't be going vegan, but my next step is to cut back on my dairy intake.
