Family Time

My friends continue to be huge supporters of my changing lifestyle. And by friends I mean comedians, by support I mean joke, and by lifestyle I mean more vege's.

No, just kidding. My friends have gotten used to it and only wave chicken in front of my face once or twice a week at most now.

So my friends have gotten used to it, but how would my family react? I soon found out during Fall Break. First meal we had? Meatloaf. Now most of you would say "Meatloaf, sweet! I've been praying for an excuse not to eat that stuff forever!" But I was singing a different tune. My mother's meatloaf is amazing and I was looking for an excuse to eat it. But no fear blog followers, I did not give into my temptation and I ate the vegetables and potatoes my mother cooked as well. Second meal? Beef and broccoli, and that one was easy- all I had to do was pick out the bits of meat and give them my ravenous teenage brothers. So we can agree that being vegetarian at home was not a huge deal, but my family's reactions?

Different.

Brothers: "Allie's a hippie now. But its cool, we get the meat she won't eat, and that's good cause we LOVE meat."
Dad: " Yeah, its just a phase. Let her eat vegetables for now, this will be over by the end of the semester."
Mom: "Probably just a little phase but she's a strong girl. Let her do want she wants."

Thanks family!
Oh and they didn't wave chicken in front of my face the entire time...

  1. It's good that you didn't give in... I could never give up meat. Sometimes when you do not eat something for a long time you lose your taste for it. If you keep up vegetarianism for a while, you may never want to go back. Or it could be one of those things you try in college and forget about later. Whatever you choose good luck!
