Breaking up is hard to do

I am having a hard time breaking up with breaded and fried food. Even when grilled is offered. Case in point. Last night I went out to dinner with an old friend and some new friends. I know I said 100 vegetarian. But I slipped up and ate chicken twice this weekend. Not because I wanted it so bad, but because I really didn't want to explain to people that I don't eat meat. So silly. Anyway getting back to the point. The waiter asked if I wanted my chicken in my wrap grilled or fried, and I said fried. I knew better, but I did it anyway. Then he asked me skinless or breaded, and again I went with the fat. And then I ordered fries. I don't even...
Anyway on a (happy) side note. At least I recognized what I was doing, even if I still did it right? I mean before I would not have even thought twice about it.
So here I sit. Thinking about how I can make myself go for the less fat item, when everything in me wants the fat. Why the crap does fat have to taste sooo good? Damn you American cuisine! And Damn me for not resisting.
The other chicken I ate was actually grilled and very tasty. I was invited over to my cousins house for dinner, and since I didn't mention before that I am a veg, I thought it would be extremely rude to not partake of their kindness. I will work it in eventually.
Anyway I am still working on the breaking up part of the fat in food, and hopefully someday I can work on the heeling. One step at a time.
