I think red meat was easy, just substitute chicken. White meat was hard, but just substitute fish meat. Now what do I substitute for fish meat? Beans? I’m looking into it. Being a pesco-vegetarian is cool, I feel good, eat light and, well, I’m happy with myself.

Starving, lunch time, Genuardi’s. Cold out, soup. Chicken and Rice, Chicken Noodle, Chicken and Broccoli. Got the Veggie Delight sandwich, which they are cancelling. Can’t blame them, if there were a demand for veggie stuff it would be available. I think I’m slowly moving toward being a vegetarian, I guess finding soup will be that much harder if I do go that direction…
I guess I have to be a little more careful. I bought a ‘special’ pizza slice, assumed it was simply black beans under cheese, but it turned out to have ground meat in it. I didn’t notice it until I was done half the slice. I’m a little disturbed because I finished the slice even after discovering there was meat. I had the attitude, ‘well, I already ate meat so I might as well finish it.’ I have to continue to examine why I’ve decided to become a pesco-vegetarian.
I know there are plenty of other option and I’ve been exploring them. I think what it comes down to is I just don’t like tuna fish. Love tuna steak, don’t like tuna fish. Still doing well, I still peruse the “meat” items on menu’s, but not as much. I guess it’s been a couple weeks living on vegetables and fish meat (eggs and dairy too).
It’s weird, I’m not sure what I’m doing, but I’m not eating red or white meat, I’m just eating fish meat. I want to maintain just eating fish meat and crustaceans, they’re good. I want to discover why I’m doing this. It seems like the right thing, but I’m not sure why. I felt this way when i stopped eating red meat, I just didn’t miss it. Chicken has been different. It was easy to give up red meat, i’ll just substitute chicken. What do I substitute chicken with, fish meat? I think that’s the point, it’s not about substitution now, there’s a purpose and I have to figure what the purpose is for me.
