I have to accept that meat will probably be once a week, on the week end. Great thing about this is that my expectations are lower. Good meat is something to look forward to 300-500 calories is a meal and valuable ration. To visualize a generous cup of rice is 200 calories, but carrots of the same mass is 70 and cucumbers are less than 30. I don't need food to be happy I really have to dig deep into my geekdom to find happiness and somewhere else. Just get eating over with and do what u want to do. I will eat this way for a long time, and it is a lifestyle I will have to mentally condition myself. It's a good habit to teach my son. I I'm not going to vegetarian, I admit that I'm not that strong but this is sustainable in my opinion.
