DRIFTED INTO VEGETARIANISM

I have eaten almost every part of every animal. Now I do not eat flesh of any kind. Here is how I got from there to here. One day my wife came home and said that she was going to do a 30 day raw food diet. I joined her to keep shopping and food preparation easy. We could not eat meat of any kind. Everything was raw. We ate nuts as protein substitutes. I thought that it would be hard on my body, but the transition was smooth. I had the most difficulty with not eating sugar or salt. This meant that I had no salad dressing to put on the salad that we ate every night. I made home made dressing, but craved a French or Thousand Island dressing. As we approached the end of the 30 days we discussed what we would do afterward. I said that I did not want to go back to eating flesh. I do not eat eggs or fish. I do eat sugar again and I am thinking about adding eggs back to my diet. I am less sluggish now. I can expand my consciousness easier. I also found that I do not need as much food at all. I am called Timothy and I am a vegetarian. More importantly I am not a jerk about my new diet.
