Sounds amazing. I’m familiar with Crystal Renn but had no idea she wrote a book. I’m looking forward to reading it, thanks. And I really appreciate your comment

Never ever let food restrictions or the like limit you – life is far too short. Way too short. And there is so much more that is important.

But you know that

Have you read the book “Hungry” by Crystal Renn? Also a model – former anorexic turned plus sized.

She had a very similar “aha” moment where she GOT OVER IT! And decided she was tired of drinking diet coke and eating salads – she indulged in salmon – who knew that was an indulgence! And she got out of the gym. She actually has some very poignant points and phrases throughout the book about society and the modeling world in general.

Thanks, Rebekah. I really to think we should all just do the best WE can. And that’s different for everyone. Life’s too short to try to fit a mold that may not be right for us. I’m excited to check out your blog too!

Oh wow! I just found your blog today and I love this post. Getting rid of labels is such a fabulous concept. I think there is a lot of complexity when it comes to making ethical food choices and there is not always one right answer. I don’t think vegan has to be an all-or-nothing concept. I eat vegan most of the time, but I made exceptions during my three pregnancies, for dairy, eggs, and fatty fish during my 1st and 3rd trimesters when I was really craving it. (During my 2nd trimester, I was really craving healthy vegan food – legumes, greens, whole grains, etc). I write a vegan food blog and I do eat that way most of the time, but I enjoy the flexibility of not labeling myself as vegan. It makes it less stressful when I’m invited to someone’s home for dinner or when I’m traveling.

Bookmarking your blog now – I’ll look forward to your posts and recipes!

Ummm, why are my eyes watering? Maybe I read too much into this post but I want to share this concept with the world – “Live life while balance your belifes / responsibilities”….

I know I’m a little late on commenting, but I just wanted to let you know that I loved this post! Your posts are always so inspiring to read and I apologize for waiting to comment until this post. It’s easy to get caught up in labels these days in order to explain our choices (especially in the blogosphere), but I think it’s a fantastic idea to just live and enjoy the special moments in life as they come! I always laugh when I do let restrictions go and don’t feel the guilt that I expected afterwards. Thank you for reminding us to embrace our freedom to live!
