    Sorry for the delayed response ladies, I wrote a huge post, replying to all of you individually... and I hit post and BellyBelly ate it!!!

    I'd like to thank you all for your replies. It's been great to read the differing opinions.

    I've decided to continue with my decision. I've bought cook books and have booked in to see a nutritionist. I want to to it the right way.

    DH has come around on the idea (I knew he would). I've been making vegetarian meals for the past two weeks (which he's been loving YUM) and he now sees it's not such a big deal. He just said, if he wants meat, he'll just add it to whatever I've made. Fair enough.

    And in regard to DS, I've said I want him to be raised Vegetarian, but if he goes somewhere or he asks for meat, I won't stop him. I'll just make sure it's organic/moral meat. DH is okay with that.

    Family and friends are all ready making things hard for me. We went to my FIL's for a swim and his girlfirend called just before we were about to head up there and said "I've got tea here for you"... I explained that it was really sweet of her, but I'm now vegetarian and we've already made dinner at home. She got SO angry with me and didn't speak to me when we got there. WTF??? You're angry at me because I won't eat meat??? GET A LIFE WOMAN!!!

    Thank you so much again for all your replies and support.
