Seeking advice

Salutations plant munchers. Me and a friend of mine have decided to go vegetarian for January. I cant speak for her reasons i think she just wants to do it with me, but im autistic, have always struggled with vegetables and the vast majority of my diet is meat based and i want to change that by trying to implement more vegetables. Ive been getting better recently but the vegetables udually have to be paired with meat for me to enjoy them. But i figured a good way to force some change that would be to exclude meat completely for a month. plus, it gives me more insight into how others live their lives which is always a bonus. I also want to lose a little weight so i figure this would help too. Some vegetables i already like include onion, tomato, cucumber, chilli peppers (not bell peppers tho i hate them, tho I'd be willing to experiment given how common they are), lettuce. I still plan on eating dairy and eggs and i want to try and avoid meat alternatives for the most part, still gonna give some a try but since the goal is for me to expand my horizons beyond meat i dont think eating things that aim to replicate it would be helpful. But anyway, i wanted peoples advice. Be it meal suggestions or specific veggies to try, things to look out for, just any advice to help me during this little journey. Any sort of info and advice would be much appreciated. Have a good day guys :)
