started the vegetarian thing kind of accidentally the other night when the group of us went out to dinner, but by the 3^rd day I’m having serious, serious cravings. I decided to put a post in the Pavlina Forums to ask for help.

Going Vegetarian – mentors needed for 30-day trial

I was inspired from talking with vegetarians at CGW#5 and learning the health benefits they believe the vegetarian diet has enabled for them. I am now on day three of my new vegetarian diet, though I know very little about vegetarianism except the disregard of meats (and animal products, like eggs? is that right?).

I was inspired at CGW to give myself a 30-day vegetarian trial. Are any of you vegetarians (or anyone, really) willing to be a mentor for me in this experience? I think need two things from a mentor right now:

1. support via texting
2. confirmation/recommendations regarding the vegetarian diet as I go through my 30-day trial, to make sure I am eating appropriate foods

I have two goals:

1. to discover general health and energy benefits of a non-meat diet
2. to make a concerted effort to eat more cancer-preventative foods, and avoid foods that encourage cancer recurrence

If you are willing to assist me on this 30-day journey, feel free to reply in the thread, or send me a direct message with your text address, or facebook me.

My thanks in advance!

Cynthia

I also made a post in our private CGW5 group on Facebook so that I was publicly committing to my goal of maintaining a vegetarian diet for 30 days.

We’ll see how well it takes, and whether or not my espousal on achieving any goal or habit change with determination and a deadline. Twenty-seven days suddenly seems like a very, very long time.
