Tiffdance Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm on day 22 and I accidentally ate a few tortilla chips while sampling salsa at the farmers market. I know protocol is to start over, but since I'll be having a family reunion camp in a few weeks and won't have much control over the food, I don't think it's possible. At this point I'll probably just continue (while taking note of whatever reactions I may have to corn) and do another 30 days later when I don't have any major conflicts. How would you handle this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you handle this situation? I would start over because it's not an accident to intentionally eat 'a few' chips. It would have been one thing if you bit a chip, realized what you did and stopped, but you chose to go off plan with the chips... There's an article linked in my signature below called 'Do I really need to start over'. We recommend you read it and decide as you're a human with autonomy and we can't MAKE you start over OR absolve you of the damage you've done to the reset.

Tiffdance Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 The thing is, it wasn't intentional. Before sampling, I asked the lady about the ingredients. I made sure there was no sugar or off plan oils in them. I made sure not to sample the one with corn and beans in it. I just absolutely forgot about the mode of transportation to get the salsa to my mouth. It wasn't until I sampled 3 salsas that I realized what I'd done. I didn't choose to eat them, I just had a moment of forgetfulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you handle this situation? Hi! i just saw your post... im personally on day 13... yesterday i CHOSE to have Gluten free pizza. I could give probably 5-7 reasons to what lead me to eat the pizza.. but the fact of the matter is that I ate it... and let me tell you what-- i PAID for it immediately. I felt SOOO sick 20 minutes later i ended up falling asleep on my couch at like 8. I woke up bloated, feeling bad etc.. BUT-- im not starting over. Just like i CHOSE to eat the pizza, im also CHOOSING to use this as a big learning moment. It taught me alot about myself and how i respond to stressful situations/poor planning. It also taught me alot through the reaction I had to the pizza. I thought maybe since it was gluten free it would be fine but I was so wrong. It made me completely appreciate the work that I had done in the 12 days and made me appreciate the foods that I had been fueling my body with. My next 18 days are going to be 100% spot on, but I'm not starting over. I'm not sure what you decided but just giving you my story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 @alexamassie I hope you complete a Whole30+reintros at some point. There is value in a Whole13 and a Whole18 but it's just not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it isn't the same.. but I also understand my mental state, and If i were to view that as a complete failure and having to start over from ground 0- it would have done me more harm than good.
