>> Today I had a super busy day. From singing at two places, picking out a dress for winter banquet, and a kickback, I had no time to eat! I managed to eat three decent meals, and that was totally fine for me. I haven’t been eating too much salt, so when I ate those chips, OH MY, they were salty! Oh, and I forgot to mention. I am allowing myself to drink coconut milk (which is not normally “allowed”) because it hasn’t caused any weight problems for me, and it satisfies my fat cravings well in a healthy way.

This week I realized that it's okay if I don't eat perfectly every single day, because it's fine to eat what I want when I want it. Maybe it's not the best idea to eat until I feel like throwing up, but I can eat things in moderation, of course I will only eat vegan, but oils and fats can sometimes be allowed. Despite all this, I still managed to break my weight loss plateau that I could never break before!
