An Update

I'm still being un-vegetarian (ha!).  I had chicken on Sunday and Monday.  Tuesday I had gummy bears (yum!).  And yesterday was a big day.  I had McDonald's french fries (they use a beef powder for flavoring on them) and chicken nuggets.  And I also had a piece of homemade jerky last night (from my neighbor).  At the time, I thought the jerky was a bad idea.  But, I ate it anyway.  I had a little bit of discomfort last night right before I went to bed, but nothing that was unbearable in the slightest (I was able to fall asleep anyway).

So, I haven't really had to deal with any problems related to meat eating.  Again, the jerky was about as far as I've pushed it so far.  I really thought I would pay for yesterday (a bunch of french fries, 10 chicken nuggets, and some jerky!).  But, all was well.  I am really super surprised about it.  I really thought I would have some kind of sickness by now.  

I have noticed that my stomach feels heavier.  I'm not sure if that makes sense.  It's like I can feel the meat sitting in my stomach longer than normal.  I guess my body is digesting it much slower than my normal vegetarian food.  However, it doesn't really feel bad.  Just a little weird.  

I'm going to stick with chicken for at least another week (and not push my luck with any more red meat just yet).  If all is still going well, I may try to add some beef or pork to my diet (but still in very small portions!).
