When did this happen? I’ve known you since 2nd grade and I don’t think I’ve ever seen you eat a vegetable except potatoes.
Only relatively recently haha. Dated a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 2 years and genuinely made an effort. A lot of those stuck, so I’m just as surprised as you are.
But, like, what do you eat? My brain can’t picture you eating a salad 😂
No, salads are still gross lol. Your brain can remain unbroken.
I still don’t care for leafy greens or raw vegetables, but I do eat a lot of roasted veggies, and I’ve started home cooking a lot of stews, soups, etc. (Edit: forgot about beans and rice. Those are kind of a staple now)
Have been buying a lot of the meat-substitutes, so I largely eat similarly to what I’ve always eaten.

Mmmmmmmmm…meaty…
I’m past the temptation phase lol, but nice try.
I do still cheat once in a while, but it’s mostly just with like pizza toppings. If we’re getting pizza, I’m not going to rock the boat and request something special or pick off the pepperoni.
I am well past temptation as well, and more so in the disgust phase. But with that said, decades in at this point, I still get dreams in which I secretly regularly eat some particular meat or cheese and feel guilty/hypocritical about it in the dream. I could never see myself actually being tempted to do that in reality, so it’s more funny than anything.
About the only thing I really still have cravings for is steak. That’s mostly because I haven’t found (or there doesn’t exist) a good substitute for that. The Beyond Steak are just like steak shavings. They’re good, especially with eggs (cage free!), and other stuff, but not if I want a big steak as a main course.
Luckily, the price of steak has kept those cravings fully in check lol
I’m prob like 90% vegetarian these days (like I said in another comment, my cheats are mostly with pizza toppings and just not ordering anything special if I’m splitting a meal with a group). I’m not against eating animals, per se, but I am against factory farming and all the cruelty that entails. That said, I’m also lactose intolerant, so I use the dairy-free cheese which ends up making a lot of my dishes vegan lol.
Cheater! Cheater! Pepperoni eater!!!
eats steak
…what? It’s not against MY values! Cows are adorable! Unfortunately, they’re also delicious!
Ok, yeah that makes sense, and congrats :)
I dunno I’m kinda sittin’ feeling like maybe Elvis atm.
Going to the opposite diet and realizing you haven’t had a movement in days…
…basically my life until like 2 years ago lol
