My mother tried to pull that on me many times. She even went so far as to beg me to eat chicken. Every time, I simply gave her a firm, 'No.' It took a few years, but she eventually gave up.

If you don't want to eat it, you have to tell her that. Eventually, she will come to understand that you're serious about it and she won't try to force it on you. In fact, it might help to tell her now that you don't feel well after the meal. You can even take it a step further and inform her that you won't be doing that again. If you don't say how you feel, others can't be expected to just know. It's still even better to argue than to not even say how you feel.

I think it may be because you've been a vegetarion for so long now, your body can't handly meat as well since you haven't had it. I had only a small bit of meat for the first time in a while a few months ago and my stomach got really upset.

Don't feel bad, it was only the one time, unless you start to eat it more often. People have been eating meat for centuries, but if it makes you feel bad don't do it, because someone wants you to.

you can't change what's done. don't dwell on it and go back to veggie if that's what you want..but what's wrong with your mom that she's sad when you don't eat chicken? Most of my relatives eat meat, but they don't get upset bcos I wont eat a bit of fast food. Maybe there's something else bothering her, try to change the subject away from what you're eating when you eat together

Everyone has set backs, and no one wants to think that they are doing something that makes others upset. I don't know how old you are(if you are still a child), but even adults still sometimes feel the need to do things that please their parents. It seems as if you ate meat because it was something your mom made you do(not in a physically forcible way, but in a psychological way).

You need to just move on, what is done is done, and there is no amount of guilt that can change what happened. You should look at this as a learning experience, that no one(no matter how much they want it) should be able to make you go against your principals. Your mother feelings are no more important than your own, and next time she is sad you will not eat meat you can remember how sad you were that you did.

There is no Tofu Mafia... There is no Veggie Police. You are the only one you have to answer to. If you feel really bad about eating meat, then don't do it anymore. If your mom is pushing it on you and you don't want it, explain to her how you can eat a healthy diet without meat. I'm assuming she thought that you're diet was unhealthy, lacking vitamins/protein, etc. Find a good website that has lots of info on vegetarian nutrition (in your case, try http://www.vegetarianteen.com/) and share the information with her, you just may change her mind.

Meanwhile, try not to beat yourself up over one meal. No one is perfect.

You cant change the past, so its best not to dwell on it. But, remember how you feel now and next time you think you shoudl eat meat to please someone else, remember how it makes YOU feel. Im sure your mom does not wnat you feeling sick or upset about it. Perhaps you can educate your mom on why you do not want to eat meat and how it makes you feel when you do. Also, teaching her alternatives to meat and chicken might be helpful for her, and maybe she can make some for you for dinner too. Good luck!

with every passing second, it is becoming a new day. start anew :)

Um.. don't be a pansy just because your mom tries to guilt trip you into eating a dead animal?

Aw. I also sinned this past weekend. I was in Vegas for a few days and those damn buffets...I ended up eating a donut hole that very likely had egg in it. I hemmed and hawed before eating it and then I did and then I felt guilty about it and still do. It's the first egg (and probably dairy, too) that I've knowingly eaten since about May. I can't go back and undo the damage I did to my conscience and self-respect, but I can remember how bad I felt afterwards and use that to prevent something like that happening again. I suggest you do the same!

Why should your mom feel sad that you won't eat dead animals? Now you aren't feeling too happy. It makes your mom sound a bit rude and selfish.

On top of that, you have just proven to your mother that vegetarianism is just a fad and she can make you eat animals whenever she wants you to.

It makes absolutely no sense for a parent to pressure their child into eating fast food anyways.
Completely ridiculous.

Well, remember it's the circle of life. Bears eat fish, lions eat antelope and sharks eat little fishies. Don't worry about it. It's nature.

Eat a steak, and you will feel much better.
