i think i'm a veg

[Chaos Coordinator]

hi my name is jessie and i think i'm a veg...lol vegetarian that is. maybe one day i'll have the desire to go vegan...but for right now my main motivation is that the smell of meat makes my stomach turn. it has ever since i was pregnant with ds, but wednesday night was the last straw. we had dinner at church, i went so far as to put a serving of "the stuff" on my plate and i wanted to barf, i offered it to the girl across from me and she laughed and asked what was wrong. and so i had asparagus for my main dish.

i had a burger the next night. and like, a nibble of a chicken nugget.

so its not like i'm being a vegetarian because my morals dont allow for eating the stuff...i just really think its gross.

so idk what to do. i mean i dont mind eating it every once and a while, if we are out somewhere. i'm not trying to change or anything. i just dont like being repulsed by my dinner.

so my main issue is this - how do i get the proteins i need without having to choke down something that makes me want to barf? i know its possible, i am just ignorant as to how. i was raised on mcnuggets and hamburger helper so just learning how to eat more fresh, less processed foods has been a journey for me. i have been too scared to go meatless until today. i can't take it anymore. just the word meat seriously makes me nauseous.

i am not too turned off by fish though. is that normal? i guess because the texture is completely different?
