Then they invented stuffed crust pizza, and I was a goner.

I still have pizza, just not with meat. Yeah, sounds boring, but I'm a total sucker for a local place that makes one with artichoke, garlic, and cheese. And yes, its tasty.

I used to have willpower.

This is what I find so odd about my recent change in eating meat -- I don't have much of an urge to eat it, anymore. I started eating at places that serve some outstanding veggie and fish stuff and, after some weeks of it, the idea of eating a huge, greasy burger seemed really unappetizing. In fact, anything with large amounts of visible fat seems really disgusting. I still go for a loaded up chili dog now and then, but we're talking once every six months or less. And BBQ has to happen at least once a year. Outside of that, I'm very content to avoid the stuff.

Although having fish as a primary source of protien just isn't nice on the wallet, I have to say. The moment I become broke, again, this is all very likely to change. Chicken happens specifically or money reasons, along with tofu although I only like the kind I get at the French-Vietnamese place up the street, the little Japanese place in town, etc. Home cooked stuff is a lot more difficult in terms of taste. Bleh!

Addition: you can be, by the way, a vegetarian and still eat really unhealthy, just as you can eat meat and continue to eat healthy. I know some people who eat no meat at all and could stand to lose 10, 20, or 60 pounds.
