Guilt over one bite of chicken

Don't keep non-veg food in your refrigerator.

Today would have been 3 whole weeks of having become a naan-veg, but of course I went trolling in the refrigerator last night before I went to bed. And of course, I saw some left over chicken, which my dinner guests didn't finish eating from Sunday night. And of course, I told myself, "What would one bite hurt?"

Well, I now feel guilty. Actually, I feel disappointed in myself. Like, I had started this experiment with vegeterianism based on a strong enough belief that I did it for almost 3 whole weeks in a row.

Why was I so quick to discount my beliefs just for one taste of 3 day old chicken left overs ?

The reality is : I had not made a strong enough commitment to my experiment with vegeterianism. I shouldn't have been serving non-veg food to my dinner guests, and I should not keep non-veg food in my refrigerator.

Let's see how well I fare going forward, now that I have learned two new lessons . . . ?
