Inflammation or what?

Bad fast food experience today
I don't normally eat fast food but my bf does and we ended up at a Popey's Chicken. I was starving! I considered going across the parking lot to Starbucks because I think they serve oatmeal cups all day. Perfect!

Binge eating vegetarian, that's me! :p
'ello! I'm Haylee. I'm just over 250 lbs and my big goal is to reach 200 and stay there for a while until I eventually lose the rest.
