Newby Vegan...too hard?

So, for months now Ive been toying around with becoming vegetarian or totally vegan.

It started with a trip I made back in April where somehow I ended at an old Whaling place, where the rock where they tied the whales to was still there and you could still see the markings of the ropes. Along that there were pictures of the whales, trashing about in their snares. It made me sad and furious! They would go out, confuse the whales, guide them away from their group and into the shallow bay. When the whales realized what was going on they would freak out but it was too late.

And then i realize we still do that with cows and chickens and fishes....

I went about a few weeks where i couldnt eat anything that could have trashed like the whales did. I looked at PETA videos and what i saw made me want to cry. I love animals, they are gentle, innocent and often trusting, and we take all that and do horrible things just cuz they taste good. I mean, cave time is over! (anyway, sorry for the rant)

In any case, I've tried to not eat meat but sometimes I cant help it. I cant deny a good stake is delicious or fish or chicken or whatever. Still, i want to do what is right, I just dont know where to start and how hard its gonna be.

Anyone here a Vegan/Vegetarian? IF so, how did you start? and did you "relapse'? What did you do when temptation came along or when family members just mocked you and ignore your vegan/vegetarian pleas??
