Day Four -- Nothing really special but I do have cravings for a lot of meaty stuff! Sometimes I do go insane! Hahaha... I realize that ever since I am on this vegetarian diet, I get hungry so easily. Most of the snacks at home are meat products and I could only munch on chocolate here and there but not too much.
The best part about being a vegetarian is I get to eat more vegetable. Before this, I hardly even eat vegetable and would only took 2 or 3 scoops of vegetable per meal. But now I cannot be too picky or else my poor little stomach is gonna suffer! Hahaha... Every meal I only have bean curd and vegetable to choose from. It's either fake chicken with bean curd, fake fish with bean curd, etc. Suddenly I feel so much healthier than before!
The downside of being a vegetarian is when all your friends decided to meet up for lunch or dinner, you can't possibly force them to have vegetarian food with you because not everyone likes vegetarian food. Some people do think that having vegetarian food is a waste of money coz they are not real. Well, vegetarians do deserve to have their own freaking restaurants to have a nice meal like normal people too! In Malaysia, they even have vegetarian cafe for young people and really huge vegetarian restaurants around. So, it's still not that bad to be a vegetarian in Malaysia!
Now I can only have fries, salad, bread as my lunch or dinner when I meet up with my friends. But for my friends who don't mind having vegetarian food, they would offered to have dinner at the vegetarian restaurant. For example, this Saturday I am meeting up with my two best friends and one of them, Khim's family has became a long term vegetarian. Not her, but her family. So, she has vegetarian food everyday at home, unless she is eating out.
She recommended an organic restaurant to meet up and all of them are fine with them. Everyone was shocked when they heard that I am on my vegetarian diet for a good cause! Hahaha.... I am actually a strong Buddhist believer. Friends who know me well will know that I have a lot of rules that I want myself to follow in my religion. But I am happy to do so, even though I have to sacrifice things or food that I love.
Some people may think that I am superstitious, some people may think that I am stupid. But I believe that if I could sacrifice something that I love for God, I don't really mind. I'd rater believe in something than not believing in anything at all.
Anyhoo... I hope that my one month of vegetarian journey will be a great one. I hope that I will be able to learn something by the end of the day. Who knows? I might become a vegetarian for the rest of my life? Hehehehe...
