नमस्ते Amala,
Thanks. That is exactly my experience. It is just naturally happening. It is a miracle to me because I generally love meat, but lately it's been repulsive for me or just made me not feel well. Plus the idea of eating the flesh of an animal is repulsive as well, though it used to not bother me. Perhaps Śiva is helping me with this process, as I couldn't do it otherwise.
Thanks for your recommendation of going off of what I do like. I love fruits, so I will stock up on those. Even salad is ok sometimes with some good dressing. I also love pasta (my wife is Italian so it's par for the course
).
By the way, is cheese OK? I've seen some members talking about giving up cheese, but I'm not sure why. I love cheese.
I'm also happy about this change, because I always hated touching uncooked meat in order to prepare it. For that reason alone, we rarely ate meat anyway, unless it was something precooked like lunch meat or certain types of sausage, hotdogs, pepperoni, etc. I'm the one that cooks around here, so I never wanted to cook meat.
Also, both of us are starting to feel a lot better even after only a few days of it. For myself, I feel lighter overall somehow, and my wife is reporting the same.
I'm visiting my mother this weekend, so that'll be a challenge since she likes a lot of fast food, ordering out, food from restaurants, etc, but I'm sure I'll be able to find something. She's usually very accommodating.
Anyway, thanks again. You've given me some hope that this might actually be possible. I know some people who would laugh at me if I told them I am vegetarian, since everyone knows I'm not a vegetable person. But it'll come naturally, I think.
Funnily enough, it's a change I've been wanting to make for years, but finally I think I'll be able to do it. Having to cook my own food now that I'm married also helps a lot, too.
ॐ नमः शिवाय
