All of this talk about vegetarianism is making me feel guilty about returning to my omnivorous ways! At least 4 people today either spoke about or wrote about being veggie or having problems with being veggie.
I went out to lunch with a friend today who is helping support her boyfriends decision on becoming a veggie by becoming a veggie herself. This girl eats everything. She's about as thin as a rail and loves to eat. (I wish I could say the same!) So, being a nice person - I thought I'd order a vegetarian option off of the menu (veggie sushi and miso soup) so she wouldn't feel bad. She definitely misses her meat!
I have two problems with returning back to vegetarianism:
1. My mother would kill me. She seemed quite happy that I was no longer eating strictly vegetables and meat-substitutes. I don't know how Justin will react either.
2. It's kind of hard with my schedule to keep a balanced diet! It's almost easier to eat meat, which sounds strange. And it costs a bit more money at times, especially when you're the only person eating it.
I certainly have enough resources and cookbooks to utilize from when I was a vegetarian. I can catch up with the recipes in Veganomicon by Isa Moskowitz. I can start slow I suppose and just eat chicken and wean myself off of meat all together. I don't eat fish, but I don't mind tuna - so I suppose I could steal eat tuna. I DON'T KNOW! Oh the decisions to make. What's a girl to do?

Don’t feel bad. I feel incredibly guilty for eating meat the last few days but I have more energy than before. As a vegetarian I was barely eating anything at all because everything makes me sick (it feels like that right now anyway). Maybe just have a day a week or so that you’ll eat veggie food? You have to do what suits you best.
