I was a strict vegetarian for eight years, from ages 15 to 22. When I got married my husband sort of pushed me into taking a bite of his hamburger, and when I actually liked it I felt pretty guilty. So for the last year I've not been a vegetarian, but I still don't eat much red meat (it makes me feel heavy, sick, and bloated). I probably only have red meat once a month or less. I have turkey or chicken about twice a week. As far as seafood goes, I hate it and haven't had any since I was 10.

Other than that I still eat a lot of Morningstar Farms products and other veg products. I hate the taste/smell/texture of fishy stuff. I really want to go veg again for both health and ethical reasons, and in general it would be easy for me to stop cold-turkey again (no pun intended), but my husband is an awesome cook & he's big into meat, so I know he might try to tempt me a lot.

I'm not sure what to do. The only problem I had when I was a vegetarian was that I would eat an excess of bread and cheese sometimes, so that wasn't really healthy either. At least when I have turkey or chicken it's usually lower fat than pigging out on bread & cheese lol.
