I have recently become a vegetarian.  I know if seems quite drastic!  But I am loving it and feel a freedom of movement and being. 

This was a health decision as well as a compationate decision.  I have recently discovered that I have many allergies to foods and preservatives in processed food.  Plus my digestive system wasn't likeing me one bit!  So I cut out the foods I am allergic to and all processed foods. 

Cutting out the foods and preservatives I was allergic to helped me in ways I was not expecting.  I no longer had a stuffy nose and plugged itchy ears, and nagging body aches seemed to go away.  Another side effect of this change was that meat no longer seemed apealing to me, the smell an texture. 

After making a change to become vegetarian,  I even feel better.  My joint move much easier, I have more energy, and I am not hungry.  It is a great feeling of freedom!  This decision is one I have made to be good to myself.  This is not a choice for everyone, and should be given serious thought.
