Pesca-WTH!! got this word from my little sister. I didn't have any idea about what it was all about or even, that this word actually existed! Pescatarian. According to m-w.com is a person who is a vegetarian but whose diet includes fish! ah! who would have ever thought of that idea. Insane. Completely insane! 
Naturally, this idea or concept or whatever you may call it is totally alien to me. Back then, I didn't really care much about the food that I ate. I see something, looks delish, then I eat it. I go to a party, see the food and ah! indulge!! When I used to live in my dorm, I learned how to eat even more kinds of food. Food. Food. Food. What would life be without food?!? I truly cannot imagine!
There were only very few kinds that I hated. Such as natural chicken, and some, if not most veggies! Healthy eating? Totally alien concept to my mind as much as it was to my body! Exercise? - nah, ah! no freaking way!! Diet?!? Believe me, I tried.. and failed.. a lot of time.. most of the time.. every time!!
But two years ago, when I stepped on the weighing scale and personally got freaked out by my weigh I decided to give it one more go. At that time, I was a little over 180 lbs. (or was it really just a little bit over?) I don't wanna know. So I decided to go on a diet. A diet of not eating rice. That, plus making some of my meals smaller.. and work.. and walking to work. Yes! I sacrificed taking a cab to work. And also, I started learning how to eat veggies. Ack!!
Now two years after, I hear this word and ah! it sounded like magic to me! I loved it, loved it, loved it!! I adored it, adored it, adored it, so much so that I wanted to try it right away just like that!! And so I told them.. "I am now going to be a pescatarian." Reaction: "yeah, right!" One week after, I found myself eating pork and beef. Two weeks after, I still wanted to be a pescatarian.. but still, still, still, ate all the pork and beef and whatever stuff I find myself with in the dinning table. Three weeks.. and still! the will is there.. I just know it's there. But it's quite a little bit hard.. esp. if you're like me.. who can eat chicken, chicken, chicken everyday. That, and pizza. And by pizza, I so don't mean those veggie pizza which I've never even tried!
But four weeks later, here I am. Finally, finally, learning how to control my craving for pork and beef. It's actually not so hard actually as I don't really like the two.. oh, except for that time when I shared a spoonful of beef lasagna with my sister. Or getting a few pieces of chicken skin from their plates whenever I see them eating chicken. Eck!! Temptation!! Will you ever go away from me?!? I don't know. But I sure do hope so!
So, this whole idea and concept of being a pescatarian.. hmm.. I am on my way to being it!! Ah! the beauty of being healthy! (yeah, I am still in the process of convincing myself!) but it's ok. I'm thinking.. if I am able to do this, to go on what will be the hardest battle of this new lifestyle that I want!! That is, to give up my addiction to.. junk food!! Ah, yes!! my one and only love!! Junk food. I'll go crazy without it! It is like my morning coffee!! I gotta have at least one or two in a day. Weird. I know. But who cares! This is my healthy. My lifestyle. My healthy lifestyle! My own interpretation of my being a pescatarian. After all, I don't think m-w.com ever, ever mentioned not eating junk food and chocolates there!! oh, yea!!
So how about you??? Wanna be my kind of pescatarian?!? haha..

this is your "little sister."
ReplyDeleteacc. to your definition of pescatarian, it's a perosn who eats vegetables and white meat only "DAW." These seem to contradict what I have been seeing these past few days. Chips for all meals, meat cravings and stuff!?!?!?!?!??! Well, maraming wrong grammar and spelling blog mo!!!!
"little" sister again,
ReplyDeletebwahahahahahaha
