I was sitting on the couch watching TV and thinking happily about my curret vegan eating and how proud I am about going through this for almost five months already. I was especially noting how I have not had that many cravings except for eggs at first, and then for shrimp, but it goes away....
Next thing I know, Chili's has a commercial on and they are showing a big, juicy steak. I used to love Chili's steak. Mmmmm. They put a little pat of butter on it and it melts as they bring it to your table. Yum...My mouth started to water... I couldn't believe it. All of a sudden, I was remembering how good Matamoros beef tacos taste and how good Mexican fajitas taste. Even right now, as I am writing about beef, my mouth is watering. What is wrong with me? Is one ever able to forget those flavors or is this a life-long struggle? I am committed to doing this vegan lifestyle for a year, but I think my will is not strong enough to continue it indefinitely.
Besides, I've come to the conclusion that eating a little meat here and there is not bad as long as one is sure the meat was raised in an environmentally-responsible way and that the animals have been treated humanely. So once my year is over, I will go back to eating good meat occasionally. So there. I feel better now. :)
