RE: Why I have become a vegetarian
So you are saying that willpower can become, at a certain point, a habit. Very interesting point of view! Thanks a lot!

YES!! Say you are really tempted by sugar. You think about it all the time. Crave it. If someone brings out a cake you're like all a jitter, wanting that thing. But the more you use your willpower, eventually you just look at it and the habit is there - there's no real reaction, just a 'no thanks, I don't eat sugar' - an almost automatic response. No big deal.
Uuh! I really like this kind of way of thinking. For now my mind/willpower does not work like that. I mean, I believe there is a moment when you can say easily "I don't eat sugar", but it takes some time until that mindset is stable
