ANOTHER ~FEAR FOOD~ HAS BEEN CONQUERED… And it was DELICIOUS! Hehe. 😏 After being stuck inside a food store for nearly an hour without any power during a near hurricane, having to drive (with my mom!) on streets without working lights, going to ANOTHER food store, having trouble calling in late for work (since I was supposed to be in at 3:00 pm… aka over an hour ago… And now, after getting ready to leave, they got somebody to cover my shift… SMFH!!) cause my phone kept breaking up (AND THEN IT DIED…), THEN finding out my brother’s car basically broke down and having to leave the food store in a rush to get home… forgetting lots of things… I’m finally home, 3.5 hours later… And all I had since my post-workout breakfast, was a Nature Valley granola bar and some watermelon, so this super late #lunch was EARNED!! Haha. 😌 It filled me up, but not too much, and it made my tummy happy! I’m so proud of myself… This past week, I’ve not only treated myself multiple times, but I’ve also upped my intake, and haven’t felt any regret, or any hatred towards for body by doing so. 😊 This lunch was an egg bagel from Dunkin Donuts with light cheese spread, lettuce, lean turkey, tomato, salsa + plain Greek yogurt, and spinach… along with my usual steamed fresh veggies with plain Greek yogurt + ranch powder alongside. 😍 SOOOOOO. FREAKIN’. GOOOOOD! And TOTALLY worth it! This was also a more calorie-dense meal, but I 100% could CARE LESS! I need those calories, and I finally realize that. And I honestly love eating more (and listening to my body) now! I don’t eat 100% healthy, and I don’t even care. To me, eating 80%-90% healthily, rather than 100%, truly means I AM living healthy… and actually living. ☺❤ #healthy #balance #moderation #food #intuitiveeating #recovery (Taken with Instagram)

#Balanced #lunch, yes? 😉 Even though I haven’t eaten 100% “cleanly” this past week, I’m treating myself to a small piece of #pizza with my lunch today. Why? Because, for one, I eat #healthy 90% of the day… It won’t hurt me. Two, I’m young and I’m not worrying about every little thing I consume anymore. And three, pizza is delicious, and we ordered from a different place today that I wanted to try out… 😏 I’m also having some lean turkey for added protein, and veggies/steamed veggies with plain Greek yogurt + ranch powder. (Aside from some watermelon cubes and a small piece of my protein bread loaf… Haha.) I’ve also been needing to up my intake, and I will happily do so! I have absolutely no regrets… This is SUCH big #progress for me, too, considering after my few “indulgences” lately, I’m finally starting to listen to my body and eat intuitively. I’m proud. #intuitiveeating #moderation #recovery (Taken with Instagram)
