She admits to eating more than her allotted calories on some days, but she balances it out with days where she eats less. Back when she started losing weight at 317lbs, she also started walking more after moving out of her parents' house and no longer having a car available. She was also eating less since she had no money for food and stopped binge-eating and being depressed.
