Wind, I don't see a problem with your eating of fish and egg whites... I have been strictly veggie for alittle while (not anywhere near as long as you) and thbis summer I started craving all kinds of bad stuff for me, and cheese and eggs. I had let myself indulge in the random pizza or something this summer, but I am stopping now as to let my IBS get back on track. The eggs I feel morally wrong for eating, only because of how they are treated, but I am sure if you are certain of the source and no chickens were tortured that is fine.
I have been playing with the idea of putting egg whites back in my diet, I don't buy them for the house, but I occasionally eat egg sandwiches if I am out and about around breakfast, and have been eating baked goods and stuff from others that have eggs in it.
as for the fish, i haven't had any meat cravings (yet, possibly), but if you need it for your health and feel ok for it, then go for it!
I know fish is one of those "gray areas", and was the hardest meat for me personally to give up, but I felt it was something I needed to do.
It comes down to that you run your life, and decide what to eat... that is why labels such as "vegan" and "vegetarian" become so confining... If I one day decided to live my life as 'vegan' as possible, I still wouldn't call myself one, it turns into a mob mentality and takes away individual thought. I would still like to eat an egg from a happy chicken that wanted me to have it if the oppurtunity presented itself.
Life is about making the best decisions and choices for yourself at the time, but you are a smart woman and I know you know that. 
Looks like you already made up your mind anyways, good luck with your fish. And hope you are feeling better 
~Disclaimer- my vegan opinions are just how I look on it, I know that there are various ways to look on it, I love vegans and definately do not look down on people that identify themselves with the term! xoxo
