I'm slowly returning to eating as a vegetarian... I find I feel much better when I'm eating less meat. I'm going to try to still eat fish, because I love salmon and love all the health benefits of eating it, and I refuse to ever give up sushi. Beyond that, I'm going to try to eat meat about once a week. My lunch today is a perfect example of why I don't need to eat meat regularly... This was absolutely delicious, pretty (which matters far too much to me in my food), and I almost couldn't finish the last part of the salad because I was so full! I'm also working at only eating at my kitchen table and taking time to really think about eating. I get into trouble when I'm at my desk or on my bed watching a show... it's not new news, but the mindless eating can so easily get me to the point where I'm so full I feel sick and I'm working on being really conscious during meals and really enjoying food!
