What's new in my life? Nothing except for my sudden vegetarianism. I know...shut up...I can feel you all mocking me...seriously, shut up. You are all laughing because I am one of the biggest meat eaters that ever existed, I'm like a T-Rex, and you are thinking, "Brooke? Give up bacon and fried chicken? IMPOSSIBLE!" But it's true. It's been nearly a week. Ooooooh.
I went to Jimmy Johns for lunch today and ordered a veggie sub...bring it on sprouts, bring it on.
At Subway I've been ordering veggie patties...mmmm, I love brown vegetable cubes, yeah!
At the 'Pote... down with chicken...pinto beans are A-OK!
Here are a few things about not eating meat...
1) Maybe I'm nuts...but my skin feels better?
2) More energy
3) Better sleep
4) Less salt
5) Less lymphedema, seriously...it's wild
6) More respect from the shaggy chipotle cashier..."Veggie bol? Right on"
7) WAY cheaper
8) Can still eat everywhere
9) Not that big a change.
10) Not eating things that had faces and mommies.
Now, I know that you are all worried...I've decided that fish doesn't count, I can still eat fish and will do so soon as promised. Fish are different because they are hideous scary aliens...not lovable animals. Not that a cow is really lovable, but you know what I mean.
Brannen said he was really proud of me, though I can tell he thinks it's a phase. He's probably right, but whatever.
Erik said, "But...what about duck?" and I had forgotten about duck...I love duck so deeply...I almost cried...so another exception I've made is "What happens at Dim Sum stays at Dim Sum"
This was the conversation with Eddie:
E: You'll be eating meat again soon.
B: You think I have no will power?
E: No, you have will power, but...it's meat. It's good.
John was really proud...he's already pushing vegan. That'll never happen. I love cheese way too much. Plus then I wouldn't get to sit around with Kris and say, "GOD...arn't vegans the WORST?"
Go ahead Monkeys, place your bets on when I crack. Go ahead vegetarians of past and present...tell me to eat my (meatless) words for making fun of you all these years. All I know is that if I want to lose 150 pounds it starts with meat. Honestly I haven't really missed it. It's something I've been considering for a long time, and last week I heard someone say "You are what you eat" and it sounded so gross and true.
Next to be eliminated...soda.

I think that's wonderful. I myself could never do it, however, I have become Flexitarian. That is some new word that means eating meat occasionally. For the most part, it's one meal a day...if that.
Um...don't lose 150 pounds. I prefer not to be friends with Skeletor.
hey bic
here I am reading your blog, as promised. I, too, am going back to a meatless life, (sadly, yes, the bologne pony, too)Some things to think about: Gradually go meatless, I have a tiny bit of turkey in the holidays, Boca brats ROCK, and listen to your body: it's saying "no meat", so go with it. After 3 years without, I craved it again, and went back, now I'm going back-back. IAG!
My "word verification" word is "vegvaz" was that your doing?
