I was hoping that someone will ask me what difficulties I face as a vegetarian are. People keep judging and challenging me or doubt my decision. But hey, it is not the first time people under-estimate or doubt me!
Whether or not anyone reads it, I want to share that the hardest part of being vegetarian is when you become a burden for people around you because of your preference. Given the fact that most restaurants and food stalls serve meat based dishes, I find it difficult to find meatless food. As lacto-ovo, it is easier for me to find food than for vegan though. I'm consciously accept that. Becoming a vegetarian is not one night decision. I had considered that as well.
However, every time I go out with friends and they want to enjoy places where they have nothing for me to eat, they will need to change the plan. I'm glad to know that my friends are thoughtful. But I do know some of them grumble. I've been trying to explain that I'm OK when the only thing I can do is just having dessert or drink.
I have no idea how they 'suffer' from it. I just hope I'll find a way to release this guilt.I don't want to be a burden.
