I was a vegetarian for a while, on and off a number of times. Mostly because:
a) I felt super guilty eating meat and felt like I didn't need meat in order to survive. I just felt better mentally when I ate a meal that didn't have an animal in it.
b) I actually felt better, health wise. So I continued.
c) I lost a lot of weight without consuming meat.
If you're considering going Vegetarian, I highly suggest trying the brand Gardein (
https://gardein.com/). Also, if you're considering, don't go cold turkey. Trust me. Start by eliminating meat from your diet one meat at a time and replacing it with something that gives you the same nutrition. Also, don't kick yourself too hard if you mess up. A lot of vegetarians I knew in person had a mess up - I sure did - or two every now and then and would accidentally, or intentionally because of strong cravings consume meat. Things like that happen, especially if you have a past of meat eating. Don't give it too much thought, or think of it as a defeat. Just accept that it happened and move on.
Trust me, even if you're someone who's like "I could never be vegetarian." You really can, if you actually try. Not saying you should be, or should try to be one. Just saying that you're not giving yourself much credit, I feel. You really can do anything.
The hardest part is deciding what to eat, because pretty much every dish I know is mostly centered around meat. But there are quite a bit of websites around that actually have full meal plans that you can follow. Follow those, and after you get the hang of things, you can start exploring and trying new things out. But remember that every meat dish you can think of can be replaced with a little creativity. There's also a ton of faux meat to sort of keep the familiarity of meat around for you. They actually taste better than the meat itself, I found.
I eventually stopped because that lifestyle was actually pretty difficult for me to maintain and it made me too stressed out. It was also pretty expensive to continue, especially if you try faux meat. I also began feeling like a burden to my family, because things became a lot more complicated for them. I decided I would stop for now, and try again later on down the road.
