It's Okay to Cheat..

I've been a vegetarian for about 6 months now and it has definitely not been the easiest life style change for me. Let me first make it clear what my new diet consists of. The formal definition for a vegetarian is eating only plant based food with or without eggs or dairy. However, I am technically a pescetarian because I eat fish but no other meat products and when I do eat fish I try to make sure that it is wild caught fish. Taking meat out of my diet was a drastic change for me since I grew up on meat and potatoes. That's one reason why I have kept fish in my diet because it would have been way to drastic of a change for me. After 6 months I have narrowed it down to only eating fish about 3 times a week. I hope to eventually take fish completely out of my diet and only have a plant based diet. Since I started my new diet I have not been perfect. There has been a handful of times were I could not resist my roommates cooking up some bacon or my dad bringing me some of his homemade chicken noodle soup. It's okay to cheat! Just as long as you stick with it!
