Today, while chowing down on some Moe's (good ol' Moe's. Always there for me) I realized something halfway through my burrito; I eat so much junk that it's ridiculous. I've been very partial to choosing healthier foods lately. For instance, I've been choosing to opt out of McDonalds or other fast food places, but with the efficiency and quickness to satisfy that instant hunger, its hard not to go for whats cheap and easy. But those are all bad bad habits that we must break! So I've made this altering decision that as of today, December 28, 2012, I am now a vegetarian. 

I know, this may not be a big deal to everyone else, but to me, this is enormous. I love a good hearty steak and having a cheese burger is a beautiful thing. So why would I want to give up all these beautiful foods in my life? Well, it'll be good for me. I've been reading a lot about being a vegetarian and so far, I like what I see. It's not some fad diet I want to try and it's not because I'm falling for Peta's mind tricks, it's because I actually want to better myself and get all of the gross toxins out of my body. I want to eat natural, good foods and maybe do something good for myself. 

Here's a good example of what I'm talking about; Laci Green. If you've never heard of her before, you're missing out big time. Laci is a beautiful, empowered woman who has a YouTube channel and has a whole segment devoted to tackling the hard "squeamish" questions we all have about life, love, relationships, feminism, you name it, she talks about it. She's really the perfect person and she's so intelligent and wonderful, thus, I became a large Laci fan. One day I stumbled across this video and it made me think a lot about what I want to do with this whole vegetarian thing. 

I stumbled across the video because I was looking at weight loss videos thinking that I have to work out and stick to this insane regimen to have the figure of Winona Ryder when really, it's all simple steps.  So yes, there is a weight loss factor here, but it's also a lot deeper than I had originally thought.
