It was in 2014 when I decided to be a vegetarian. There were several reasons behind my venture to healthy living (gotta post about it soon). For now, I'll be happy to share to you some of the tips in becoming a vegetarian.
(1) Acknowledge that crave and then overcome!
When I decided to say bye-bye to the crunchy, tasty, fried chicken, I accepted the fact that I'm going to miss it. And I really did. I remember those times when I would smell the aroma of the fried chicken in a restaurant - it was a challenge. I admitted that I'm craving for it but I also determined that I have already made the decision to leave it all behind. I prayed of course for strength to overcoming that craving.
(2) Be kind to others even if they're not vegetarians
I met some vegetarians before. Some of them told me I'm not going to go to heaven if I don't become a vegetarian. That really hurt me. Sometimes when you attend birthday parties or some kind of gatherings, people will get curious of your new lifestyle. If they ask questions, smile, and be kind. Answer them politely. Understand that people have different views in life. Do not criticize. :)
(3) Explore new dishes
Before I changed my lifestyle, I didn't like cooking. But when I did, I was able to embrace the world of cooking. I'm not an expert but I'm really hoping that I'll be able to serve healthy and palatable food. By God's grace, I know I can become a blessing to others whenever I prepare healthy meals for them. Becoming a blessing to humanity is really fulfilling.
Well, those are just some of the tips for those who want to venture to the world of healthy living!

Yeah, it is but just keep doing it and you'll succeed :) I have been a Veg for 5 years and 7 months. How I became it was a strong decision the day before I did it that I am a vegetarian from tomorrow an that was it :D

Wonderful!
I like and agree with your tips. I am just at the beginning of this journey and I find that focusing on all the amazing and healthy food you have available instead of thinking about what you cannot have really helps.

Hi @nikolina! That's so nice of you! I feel great knowing that I can meet people who can relate to the challenges that I'm currently facing when it comes to making lifestyle changes. Yes, we should appreciate the healthy foods that are available to us.
