So about a month ago I had a gnarly (gnarly bad, not gnarly good) breakfast burrito that made me sick to my stomach. I decided right then and there that I would never eat eggs again. I do this. The minute I stop enjoying something, I tend to cut it out of my life. Some things I stick to better than others. Seafood, coffee, meat...I turned the other way and never looked back. Vodka tonics, cigarettes, Wilma...no matter how sick they make me, I always go crawling back. Doh. I haven't decided yet which column eggs will be in. There are moments when I would give just about anything for an omelette. But then I remember that runny burrito and I just about throw up a little in my mouth. The thing is...eggs are a really good source of protein. I don't know if I can eat enough of anything (beans, etc.) to compensate for the sudden absence of eggs/protein in my life. Hmm. Just thinking about it now makes me want some eggs. I don't know...I don't know if I can do it. What do I do?!

i fully support your decision to avoid them eternally, and i will always be here if you need help staying on the bandwagon.
as for protein - soy, breads, nuts, yummiful fake meats and "say-tan" (whoa - i know i mispelled that, but for some reason i can't post this message with the correct spelling... that word triggers an unacceptable content warning!), not to mention the fabulous world of beans... believe me, you do not need eggs in your life ever again!!!!!!
