What's it like being a vegetarian

I have been on my vegetarian diet for about a four now. Well it’s not really a diet as this is a permanent lifestyle change.  So maybe we can tag it as a lifestyle transformation.   It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be to do.  Since I started studying nutrition back in June 2010 I have been all about eating healthy.  And from everything I have read and heard thus far, going with a vegetarian diet will decrease your risk of getting certain medical conditions (i.e. hypertension, diabetes, cancer) and make you feel much better - more energy, better digestion, etc.
What I have done is taken some of my old recipes that called for ground beef and now I am using a meat substitute product in its place.  For recipes that require chicken, there is a chicken strip substitute out there that works. If you like bacon, the bacon substitute is not all that bad.  The meat substitute is okay, the chicken substitute is something that you have to get used to.
