Pescetarianism

I'm thinking about changing things up, being a little different. I am thinking about becoming a Pescetarian. I think I spelled that right. Basically it is a term for a person who eats a vegetarian diet except includes seafood. In the past few days I have not eaten any meat. Actually I haven't had any meat since Saturday when I had a few chicken wings. We went to Wild Wings for a friends birthday and I had a few too many drinks that resulted in a few too many wings. SO after getting home I turned back into my health kick. Since Sunday, I have been eating black bean veggie burgers or southwest burgers. Tonight for dinner I had a vegetarian chili with "fake" meat and it was delicious. Plus it was only 150 calories. By doing this mainly vegetarian thing I have extra points left over ( btw i'm doing Weight Watchers) AND I AM NOT HUNGRY! I am filling up on black beans!



I've always told people that I don't really like meat and I could be vegetarian if I could at least have seafood and a steak and cheeseburger every once in awhile. Really red meat is not good for you and I rarely eat it so why not give it up all together? Chicken is healthy for for you but it is so boring. I don't really like the texture of chicken. I also don't like pork all that much. Aside from ham and bacon it seems like a waste. However, I RARELY eat ham or bacon. This has been a gradual thing for me. One thing I worry about is going out to eat and eating at peoples houses. Sometime it is a pain when the person doesn't eat meat. What about Thanksgiving??? All things to think about.


Maybe one day I will give up seafood too. It seems like being a pescetarian is just a half ass vegetarian and I hate doing anything half ass. I almost did give up fish after watching a special where the fish were FULL of plastic from swallowing trash ew ew ew.. BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE SUSHI, steamed shrimp, fish in GENERAL is YUMMO...so I'm not ready to give them up yet. I also also am not SET on being a PESCETARIAN ( did I spell that right) but it is definately something I am thinking about.

Perhaps this is just a phase. But, I'm throwing the idea around.
