Leafbiting, Last reminder!
12 years ago
General
Just a quick last reminder for all those that have signed up for the challenge. Tomorrow's your first day, so good luck and keep me updated!
To those that still want to sign up, this is your last chance! Comment in this journal before October 4th and you'll be included and tracked in this journal.
For those that are unaware, October 4th is World Animal day, a day in which we show our appreciation towards animals. Give your pet extra attention, donate to a good cause or shelter or go over and help out at a local shelter, stuff like that.
As for the last so many years, I will abstain from eating meats for 2 months, basically requiring no animals to have been killed for whatever I eat (so milk and eggs are fine). This year once again, I invite anyone else to take up this challenge with me.
I keep track of anyone willing to leafbite with me in this journal. You can go for as many days, weeks or months as you wish, even eating no meats for one day is showing you care about the animals you love to eat so much. Also, since the long meatless vast overlaps with thanksgiving, I think it's fair for whoever toils in the kitchen for that day doesn't have to put up with your special diet some internet person suggested you take on, so if you want to schedule a day of exception during leafbiting for whatever occasion, that's alright (that day won't count though).
If you're partaking, make sure you eat enough meat substitutes like legumes (beans, lentil, peas), dairy, eggs, soy products and nuts. It's not healthy to abstain from meat and leave the protein portion out of your diet, it will just make you crave meat and make the challenge impossible in the end. Google up some interesting vegetarian recipes of dishes you normally like to make it easier on yourself.
Good luck everyone, hope to get many people signing up for it this year!

Being a carnivore at heart I couldn't withhold to this, So I'll have to show my animal love in another way. :V
Perhaps by resisting the urge to nab up little roughage stuffed foxxies. :>
Also, American Thanksgiving is in November, and those that like to eat burds during that holiday are probably going to have a difficult time, assuming I'm reading this correctly and this thing goes through that holiday.
>w> <w<
But at the same time, really appreciate the effort you and others are putting into it, so, good luck with it. <3 Maybe I'll look into what my vegetarian housemates are up to and do a bit of leafbiting myself. :3
Meat is such a large % of my diet, but hey, I got a bunch of stuff to last me at least the week xP
I was totally tempted staring at some leftovers the entire week though.
I'll try to last longer than a week next year.
I might have stuffed a lot of chikkin down my gob last night. Last taste xP
I didn't make it through like.. Day 3
but 3 days is better than none! I resisted my meatatarian urges in the name of cute fluffies everywhere
btw Monkey says "meeeoowwwww"
Can I still sign up for 17 days?
The burger was amazing though, with Jalapenos and mushrooms.
