Being a Pescetarian ...

It seems as if for the longest time I have struggled with not only weight but dieting choices. Whether it be heading to a diet clinic or starvation. It has always been something for me. It's been about three years since I have given up meat. It was literally after watching for a full day youtube videos on how meat is processed. It was real eye opening for me and changed how I did things. At this time I was around 240 lbs and now I am 180 lbs. Through  not only changing my diet but exercise too I have been able to shed these awful pounds. It is still a struggle moving from a pescetarian someone who only eats seafood and vegetables to a complete vegetarian. I am confident that I will get there one day. Being a pescetarian is a huge topic that people debate with me all the time. They say well you still are eating animal flesh, that I am aware of and feel guilty. However, I have fainted many times when attempting the vegetarian diet , I will get there slowly. I do enjoy the taste of seafood very much though. It is not the only thing that I eat there are some days when I will eat a completely vegetarian or vegan meal. It's not a problem. Some people find my diet to be very healthy and see nothing wrong with eating seafood. One of my biggest reasons for not eating meat is all the hormones and chemicals injected into them. However, many people then suggest grain fed. It's now at the point where I cannot eat meat if I tried. I used to be someone who deeply indulged in steaks , chicken wings and burgers but the thought of it grain fed or not just makes me sick at this point in my life. In time, my diet will evolve to something new again but for now pescetarianism is definitely the way to go.
