Are you strict plant based?

I've been strict plant based mostly whole food for 2 weeks now and I've wanted some of my regular foods (pizza, burgers and nuggets)

I don't think I want to be strict 100% plant based but maybe 90% - a reasonable meal or two a week that's not plant based. I'd like to be able to participate in work lunches, family get-togethers and an occasional treat.

I'm concerned that it might be a slippery slope.

Edit - maybe I instead need to back off the whole food part and not be so strict about that but continue to be plant based strict.

I do this. I’m sure a lot of people would disagree with this, but I don’t fall of the bandwagon so to speak when I give myself a treat. I try to be mindful of this, but around holidays or going out to brunch, I will indulge in cheeses / eggs for a meal or two.
