So I went vegetarian about 2-3 years ago. I've also been eating vegan meals when I can and telling myself I'd go all vegan when i moved into my own place. But off and on for the past year I have had a battle with seafood cravings. I would eat seafood then feel guilty and tell myself not again, and go back to being veg. But then I would just do it again! The past few months I really fell off the wagon. I strayed from VB and pretty much started eating seafood all the time. Well 2 weeks ago i was on vacation and had one of those family style meals at the amusement park i was in. it was fried chicken and fish. I ate the fish just fine but when i went to eat my second helping I really noticed the way the pieces curled up and was disgusted and realized, I needed to cut seafood out and go back to being vegetarian again, this wasn't part of my values, I needed to stop taking the easy way out. My family has been so happy i was eating seafood, my Dad thinks being Vegetarian is unhealthy and pointless.
What I'm asking is, do you have any advice to not stray again? I feel really bad for giving in so easily. i had always said being vegetarian was easy for me but clearly it got harder over time. I will be going back to college mid August where I'm free from my parents criticism and even eat Vegan most of the time, but just knowing that I gave up for so long, I feel guilty. I think mostly this was a way to get this off my chest but I'd also like advice, I don't want to eat ANY animal, I need to stop giving in to cravings.
