sarahAwright Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi I turned 40 last Sept and just feel like I am seriously not taking care of my body. I had cancer 10 years ago, which has left some longer term damage to my body anyway, and I just feel that I abuse with food - and definitely sugar - this body which worked so hard to keep going through such an aggressive illness. I am a mother, I work full time and typically put everything before myself, my health, my body comes last. So enough is enough! Starting this on Monday, using this week to sort out my kitchen, order supplies and get my head in the game! Not sure what to expect, scared I wont be able to make the 30 days - which is crazy, it feels completely pathetic tbh but still its my worry. I am surrounded by people and situations that I know will tempt or be seen as the 'easy' choices...so I need to make some serious plans for these situations! But apart from the above ...I am also excited, I just cannot imagine what it will feel like to actually 'feel better' than I do at the moment! Would really like anyone who wants to buddy up to get in touch! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted February 9, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Sarah! Beating cancer is hard... eating good food for 30 days isn't hard! You can definitely do it and if 30 days seems to daunting, then just go one day at a time... Prep cooking is going to be your key to making sure you are prepared for any situation that comes up. Having some self care talk for those situations is good too... 'I am choosing not to eat XX because I am choosing to feel better'. 'I made a commitment to myself and that <insert food here> is not worth breaking my commitment and it will be there in 30 days if I still want it'. You're tough! You're a mother, a woman and a cancer survivor... girl, you got this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to settle some issues with digestion, dermatitis and allergies., as well as some of the weight that keeps creeping in. Making my list for shopping and food prep. Excited!

jkwo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi! Can I be a part of this group too? I'm new to Whole30 (and feeling a little scared, panicked, and questioning why the HECK I signed up for this ) and know that having support (everyone I asked to do it with me said "no") will be critical to my success. If you guys will have me, I look forward to journeying through this program in community. ~ Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
