TheAmazon Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 So today is my day 30 and I decided to go back and read through my daily journaling of my experience. Anyone who is starting, or considering starting, your own Whole30, this is something I highly recommend. Through reading my journal entries I could really see and relive all of my journey, and it was a journey, and continues to be. I forgot some of the issues I had when starting this and my list of NSV's continued to grow as I recalled them. ~I no longer have any hypoglycemic attacks ~I no longer have daily headaches ~I no longer have pain, bloating, or diarrhea in the mornings (IBS?) ~I'm no longer exhausted without reason although I wouldn't exactly say I have boundless energy yet ~Noticable improvement with my feelings of depression ~And a better feeling of self worth and a healthier relationship with my food ~Improved PMS symptoms including more mild cramps and headaches. Although my irritability became way worse, but I think this will improve as my hormones balance out. I have made the decision to not step on the scale today which I could also count as a victory. I used to weigh myself daily and suffered through many diets and disappointments. I didn't know how to eat. Now I have a way of eating that I KNOW is healthy, and I KNOW is sustainable. I also realized, by going back in my journal, that I used bad food not as a crutch, but as punishment. This is a big realization for me and made me very emotional. I was punishing myself with food because I felt like I deserved to be miserable. This realization has reminded me that I need to be more kind and patient with myself. Another reason for passing up stepping on the scale. I plan to continue on with a Whole60 at least because I feel as though I need more time to really accept these changes and continue to learn to LOVE my body with food instead of punishing it. The Journey Continues ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
