Some people can handle it, some can't. I became veg around 2 years ago, and now I have a hard time eating meat even if I WANT to! I can eat maybe a few bites a month, but that's it. Like you, I do eat seafood now, but because of mercury contamination and destructive fishing methods I avoid it for the most part.
A really good book to read on vegetarianism, that can help to keep you motivated, is Eating Animals, by Jonathan Safran Foer. I've read lots of veg books, but this one is by far the best.
Good luck!
