i just became a vegetarian monday. I know its hard but what are the reasons you want to become one is it because meat can be bad for you or its cruel to animals? I lovee carbs especially pasta so u could eat those. Also I'm not giving up seafood but im still considered a vergetarian.If thres no real reason you want to become a vegeatarian just eat what you want but eat a good amount of it.

Why not change your perspective?
"I don't think i can", why so negative?
Say "I CAN!" and it will be much easier.

There are different kinds of vegetarians. They vary according to whether they eat dairy products, fish, and/ or eggs. Those that eat these things are called lacto, pesco, and ovo vegetarians respectively (and you can be a combination e.g. lacto-ovo vegetarian). Those that eat none of those things are typically called vegans.
I was a lacto ovo vegetarian for 6 years btw, so I know how hard it is to give up the habit. The best advice I can give you is that to get your hands on a vegetarian cookbook. Every bookstore or library should have one. Once you start making some really nice veggie dishes, you wont crave for the meat as much. Thats really the biggest problem, most people dont know how to cook vegetarian.
I cant really give you specific advice on what to eat since I dont know what kind of vegetarian you are. However, you can usually duplicate most dishes with a veggie alternative. Italian dishes are particularly good and easy to convert in my opinion, assuming you are not a vegan.
One word of caution, as a vegetarian you should make sure you have very varied meals. Use a variety of grains, beans, veggies, etc. so as to ensure that you get all the vitamins and protein that you need. And rememeber to take a multi vitamin in the morning.
Good luck.
