I feel like a traitor?

Question

I've been a veggie for 4 months and just ate fish even though i decided i wouldnt. Where should i go from here?

Answer 1

You're a person, not a robot here. Relax.

I'm a long term vegan, and although I haven't eaten any animal based foods on purpose, I'm quite sure I've been served some accidentally on more than one occasion. The net effect is the same: we're trying to do our best, so don't beat yourself up about it.

Stick with it - such a lapse isn't any reason not to keep as veggie as you can from here on in.

Answer 2

You fell off the wagon.  That doesn't mean that you can't start over fresh :)  Everyone makes mistakes and you didn't for 4 whole months!  That's a pretty big achievement for a beginner.

Tomorrow is a new day and you can start all over again.  Don't worry.  Be happy.  It's not like your going to get kicked out of some club.  We all have the same basic ideals.  We are all trying to achieve a kind of goal.  

Don't give up on vegetarianism...Don't give up on your health, the environment or the animals.  www.meat.org

Answer 3

Just pick up where you left off.  You made a decision that went against your principles, you don't need to beat yourself up.  You just re commit yourself to your ideals, and try not to make that slip again.

Answer 4

Accept your mistake and move on.

Worrying will accomplish nothing.

It doesn't make you a bad person.

Answer 5

No worries. Just don't do it again! =]

Answer 6

Wherever you'd like. You ate animal flesh once in 4 months. I'd say that's a decent run. Get right back on the horse and go for 5 months or more.

Answer 7

i'm a vegetarian and i still eat fish and shrimp.

i'm against animal cruelty. i'm aware animals were put on this planet to be eaten. its called the food chain.

however, i dont believe that animals should be given unessacary antibiotics to make them grow so huge they cant walk. i don't think that people should beat animals untill they break their bones for no aparent reason.

i dont think that animals should be hung by their feet upside down and have parts of their muscles hacked off while they're still fully consious with no medicine or pain killers.

basically, theres no humain way to kill an animal. but there here for us to eat. fish and other sea food aren't tortured, luckly for them. so i eat them. i dont eat animals that suffer from being beaten. its a personal prefrence/choice.

Answer 8

You are a BAD BAD girl,

you deserve a spanking.

C'mon are you serious, how could you eat fish when there are so many trees and grass to eat.

Answer 9

fish only have like a 2 second memory, so it doesnt even know you ate it. lolol =)
