I broke my vegetarianism last night. I was out with my friend getting shabuway hot-pot at Shabu Shabu, and I ordered the beef plate. These were my thoughts when I was considering whether to get the beef + veggie or the double veggie plate:
1) I’m going to China soon anyway, and when I go to China I am not going to keep this diet up because meat in China is sooo good and not as unhealthily cooked as in the states
2) Shabuway hot pot is just meat + boiled water, no oil or any of that yucky stuff
3) Just vegetables won’t fill me up
However, not only did the beef fall below par of my expectations, the vegetables tasted much better and I would have preferred to just get two plates of veggie instead of one beef one veggie. Also, now I have a huge blister on my lip, I’m not sure if its a result of the meat. [Sigh] Karmic Retribution.
Alright, so I slipped up. I’m not going to give myself crap over it, I’ll just continue even harder on my vegetarianism. I went to the grocery store afterwards and bought entirely vegetarian meals for the week. The one thing that I can’t decide on is whether I should still be vegetarian when I’m in China. I would really love to get your feedback on this one. It would only be a 10 day hiatus from the diet, which I will resume when I go to England. What do you all think?
4/4/3 blister + lonely because everyone has left for break and I’m still here; at least I have my roommate’s fish for company

I don’t think you should’ve gone on this diet in the first place. First of all, acne can be cured in other ways such as drinking water, sleeping well, clean and clear. Second of all, if you’re trying to get rid of your depression, simply laugh more. Third of all, you don’t really seem that depressed in your blogs. I mean, I don’t get that vibe. Fourth of all, eating seafood is actually good for getting rid of depression, something with iron content. Fifth of all, how/where do you create a domain like this? Do you have to purchase it?
I’m not really sure how long I’m going to keep it up, but the few months that I’ve tried it have been great. I really love and enjoy eating vegetables and fruits now, whereas before the only thing I ate was meat. Initially it was a regimented diet, but now it’s not so much a diet as a matter of preference. I can address the depression issue in another post. I got this domain name for free when I purchased my other domain name for my company, http://www.championdebate.com
I’m aware that there are many places to buy cheap domain names though
Aren’t you quite scared about revealing so much about yourself online to a complete stranger? XD
You should probably only feel guilty about breaking your vegetarianism in as much as you violate each of your reasons for having changed your eating habits. I think with strong reasons, you’d have a decently easy time of being a vegetarian. I know that my reasons for being a vegetarian would not hold out against Niu Rou Mian in Taiwan.
