As Chaotic said already, food is oftentimes used to show love. Maybe food is how she's able to connect with you, or maybe she's testing your resolve. She might be trying to teach you how to resist temptation, along with generally being a mother who is afraid to lose her baby. She may be closed minded and think, "First meat, then tattoos and hippie cults..." Then again, I'm just throwing stuff out there. I think you should consider her personality and beliefs and decide for yourself. Then try talking to her and asking if she's consciously making it difficult for you. Get rid of any misconceptions and have a nice heart-to-heart.
It really wasn't a big deal for me to go veg. I've been pretty much feeding myself for several years, save for when mom cooks once or twice a week. So, it's not like she had to adjust to me and cook special things just for me (although she makes veg lasagna for me). I'm only 17, but she lets me do my own thing and has for a couple years. She knows I'm a good kid. 3nodding
It really does get easier after a month or two. My only issue is trying to find things to eat instead of meat. I never realized it, but almost every dish at a typical restaurant and even the typical meal at home has meat in it. I still get the right nutrition, and I was able to donate blood a couple months ago.
I enjoyed a good, bloody steak before, but now I'm indifferent. Sure it tastes good, but so what? It's not vital to my existence. I'd rather have a fruit smoothie anyway. My all-time favorite meal that mom made had chicken in it. If she made it now, I wouldn't be tempted. I'd be reminded of my childhood, and leave it at that. You may see it as "giving up" something, but I see it as a gain. I'm eating healthier, I've become more tolerant (sadly, I used to think being veg was unhealthy and pointless), I cook more, I've become more open-minded to food... I was very picky before, but now I'm up for anything. Veg-ism kind of makes you be, and I'm glad of it. And hey, my friends and I get to crack jokes about eating meat. mad D
I wish you luck! :3
