to buy some time you could just say that you feel better when you don't eat meat. I did that until I could sit down and talk with my in laws and tell them that I was giving up meat all together, but it is true if you are serious about it eventually you are going to have to tell people the truth and be willing to face the outcome. Most people I've found are so consumed with their own lives they could care less. I've been veggie for 4 months now and only encountered one rude person (my brother in law) but thankfully my husband put him in his place and stuck up for me, and now he knows that his rude comments aren't going to change anything. It will help to be educated about the subject so when people say to you "Where will you get your protein?" you can have an answer for them. In the end if you are serious about what you are doing other people's opinions won't matter.
