I was doing some reading the other day and the author described herself as a ‘flexitarian.’ She defined her eating habits as mostly veg with occasional meat. This seems to describe now. I don’t really eat meat as the centre part of my meal but more as a condiment. I think I can embrace this approach quite easily and my natural inclination will be to include less and less meat as time goes on.
I know that denying myself something never works, it never has. Even when I quit smoking (which is really an all or nothing proposition) I walked around with cigarettes for 2 weeks and told myself I could have one if it was still this bad in five minutes. It never was. I have not had a drag of a cigarette since I quit April 21, 1991 at 10 pm. I have never looked back. I am sure I can do the same thing with meat…over time!
Oh and I made a wicked eggplant parmesan for dinner!
