Tonight we decided to take a drive down to Seal Beach and eat at Ruby's out on the pier. For those of you not in Southern California, Ruby's is a 50's style diner that mainly serves hamburgers of all different varieties. And I have to say, a hamburger did not even look tempting to me! I ordered the Vegwich, and was actually very happy with how much I enjoyed it!
This may sound strange, but one of the things I have been looking forward to about going vegetarian is that I don't have sooooo many options staring me in the face. Jason had read a book that had concluded that more choices actually make us more dissatisfied with what we end up choosing in the end. More choices lead to more buyers remorse, or fear that we have not chosen the best option. I am really excited that my options are now very limited for eating when I go out to eat. And tonight I was very satisfied by my limited options.
I left feeling satisfied, but not overly full as I know a burger and fries would have made me. And I don't have the regret that I used to have after eating a burger when I would feel so stuffed afterward.
So far I am surprised at how satisfying this vegetarian lifestyle is for me. I had a friend that told me it wasn't so hard, and I am starting to believe him! I am still feeling more energy, although there has been some major processing of life that has been weighing on me the last few days. But, overall I am really happy with how my body feels. And dare I say my pants are fitting better, which I shouldn't be able to say in pregnancy. Don't worry, I'm still getting the necessary calories, but I really think my metabolism is kicking it up a notch. No, I am not TRYING to lose weight while being pregnant, but so far I'm really happy with the results!
