I ate chicken today. I thought about freaking out but, decided not to. First off doing this in Pei Wei would be embarrising. Secondly if it was not meat entree then it was fried. Really? really? Why is it soo hard to eat out being a vegetarian! Well probably because I live in Lubbock. Efff. Soo after taking 20 mins to decided. I went with the asian chopped salad..Napa cabbage,carrots, tomatoes,crispy wontons, seseme seeds, and lime vinegrette..oh and chicken. I hate to eat out.
After I had got past the fact that I was going to ingest chicken..I took a bite. a small bite. BUT. This was not before I meticulously removed most of the crispy wontons (why don’t they just call it fried? can’t deceive me!) and thought about removing the chicken as well..by now I was getting all types of wierd stares… I chewed,masticated,and swallowed. Hmm not too bad. Another bite a little bigger though. In fact, it was pretty tasty. Maybe even delicious..Yeah I dominated the salad bowl:) I completely forgot that I was “vegetarian”
Although I do not eat meat due to enviromental reasons and others, it was the definition of vegetarian that was holding me back. How could I possibly break what I am? I am vegetarian after all. But why should I be called that? Why should I be defined by the word. Even more so, any word? I am who I AM. I am the definition.
Does this mean I am going to start eating meat regularly..nope. I still believe in my resoning. However now, I am not going to allow myself to feel so guilty and miniscule. If I do eat it, it will not be the end of the world.
Okay okay I will stop rambaling…after..Drum roll please:)
