Dear Blog Readers,
I have been vegetarian for a complete month now. Some amazing things have happened due to it. I have learned healthier ways of eating. I have put into habit portion control while eating. Thus leading to a 12 pound weight loss. (disclaimer: in the last month I was also sick for two weeks and under tremendous stress which I add as factors. Nonetheless...I still lost weight.)
So what's the down side? I MISS CHICKEN!! I pass by Wendy's on my way to work and again on my way home. Do you know how badly I want the spicy chicken nuggets? Or having to endure holidays with no bbq? Memorial Day just passed and the 4th of July is on the way. Or to go out to a restaurant and have to create your own vegetarian meal and still pay the same price as if the chicken came with the food? Or having to buy fish or shrimp all the time? That shit is expensive!! *deep sigh*
So I was thinking of being a part time vegetarian. My husband said its cheating. Now I'm stuck in a bind. The plan was to be a vegetarian for the month of May. Now that May has come to an end, I'm torn whether I would like to continue being vegetarian or minimize the amount of chicken I allow in my diet.
Signed,
Chicken lover gone Vegetarian

I love your honestly. If you give up asap, you won't enjoy your vegetarian diet, so I would say go slow. Be a demi-veg, eat chicken little but enough to satisfy your desire to eat it. See how you feel with time, who knows you may just wean yourself of it. Its not easy to give up food we've grown up eating.
Good luck.
