As a new pesciatarian, I'm loving that I'm kept on the straight and meatless with my mum's support. She was a pesciatarian for years, (although she's slightly less so now), and we both dislike meat for the same reasons.
Not eating meat means I am eating far, far less junk food, for example where I would normally pick up a egg and bacon sandwich for lunch, I'll steer towards sushi or a salad, or some houmous with carrot batons. I probably even find these things tastier, and I've found myself shedding pounds by the week. Win-win all round!
My boyfriend would support me if I decided to dye every hair on my body purple and become a nudist, should that ever happen (touch wood it doesn't...), so naturally he is wonderfully supportive with this and I think he enjoys it too, although nothing will stop his carnivorous habits when I'm not around. Together we have been finding lots of yummy new food that is healthy and gross-meat-free, such as gnocchi with pesto or tomato sauce, or making our own pizzas from scratch, with yummy toppings.
As of yet I'm not missing meat, however good the bacon smells, and so I feel like I can keep this up without relapse for the forseeable future!
