Best of luck on your new journey...I hope you find the kind of flexibility that suits you and what you're looking for...and when the mood says plants, I hope you continue looking my way ;)
I don't know where my journey will take me next. I may stay 100% plant based, or I may not. It's more about feeling free to make the choice without fear of bizarre consequences.
Thank you for sharing all of this! I think a lot about the point you bring up about the joy of eating (because it should be joyful!). I read the book "The F*ck It Diet" by Caroline Dooner a few years ago, and that shifted my mindset so much about eating and being joyful about it. (I also love the Maintenance Phase podcast.)
For me, the big issue is freedom. I may stay 100% plant-based, or I may not! But I want to get to a point where I feel professional and psychological freedom to make food choices based on what's best for my body, the *unfiltered* scientific evidence, and yes—enjoyment!

Wishing you luck and whatever you need! Because all of that sounds very simple and straightforward and I know that it is not.
