One of the main issues would be the reason why you want to be a vegetarian. If it’s because you feel it’s WRONG to eat animals, that may be a problem, since the Torah says it’s not. Also, we are not supposed to equate human life and animal life. If you just don’t like eating meat, there’s nothing wrong during the week. On Shabbos and particularly Yomtov there may be a chiyuv to eat meat, but for that you definitely have to ask a sheilah.
