Ive been a vegetarian for almost a year and I’d have to say its pretty easy. I am, however, having trouble not eating seafood. I just sort cut it out cause I thought if I was going to go vego I might as well go all out right? Cause it’s always weird when a vegetarian eats seafood? But seafood has so many goodies in it! Like omega 3 that I can’t get from anywhere else. Plus it’d stop from eating carbs which would be awesome for making me not such a fatty boom-ba.

But should I do it? It feels like a step in the wrong direction. I was in the deli contemplating buying seafood and it just sort of felt weird. Like I was betraying some part of me. Ha ha blah blah blah so weird!

But I love it oh so much! Yum yum in my tum!

So what do you guys think? Are any of you vegetarians? That eat seafood or don’t? And if so, what’s your reasons behind it? I would love to know your thoughts! Vegans also wry welcome :)
