looking for some friends who are vegetarians or vegan

I've been a vegetarian for three years, though I did struggle with my decision not too long ago. I'll add you~!

This. This was something I struggled with even as a vegetarian. Even the ex-husband (who met and "befriended" me when I was vegetarian), became critical of it after we were married. It's not why he's an ex - but in hindsight it was certainly one of many small little red flags.

None of my family or friends were veggie (apart from a couple of online buddies). Between having to couch surf for a bit during and after the divorce (and recognizing that I needed to just be grateful that food was being offered, period), and having the continued questioning and sometimes mocking from friends and family - I finally got sick of feeling like an outsider, and embraced the omnivore thing even after I was back on my feet. It's been a little over 3 years since I went omni, and I'm just now ready to say screw it to peer pressure and go back veggie. From experience, it can be incredibly difficult socially, depending on what your environment is like. But, Now that I've fully seen that, I kind of feel like my choice now is being made with a better understanding of what I'm getting myself back in to.

Pescetarian here!
