How do I tell me my vegan girlfriend that I have stopped eating meat...? [View all]

My girlfriend has been gone to India for quite a while now. Before, she left I ate meat on occasion...was not a carnivore by any means mostly when we visited my parents house.

I have been thinking about not eating red meat for quite a while due to health/environmental/personal reasons. While a girlfriend that is vegan would help some people make this step in their lives...for me it has been the opposite. I do not want her to think I am just doing this for her or because of her in anyway.

Anyway... she is coming back this week. How do I tell her? I just feel awkward talking to her about it because she is so much more determined and motivated for not eating any animal products that it just seems intimidating to me. Please give me some suggestions!
