Those sounds like such smart rules! Thank you for taking the time to respond! I think I’m just going to take a little time to focus on being whole30 compliment again and then on my birthday which is coming up try again. After making a list of rules for myself that is. Maybe it is just a special holiday thing for me now, I’d like it more often then that, but feeling better means more to me!

So I’m in reintroduction on day 36 before last night all I had reintroduced was dairy and last night I reintroduced alcohol and I lost food control. Today I feel terrible! And of course because I at a lot of things I can’t tell what did it. I’m going back to strict whole30 for a couple weeks probably. I feel bad and I don’t... currently reading foodfreedom so I knew a slip up might happen and it did and I don’t feel bad because I know what to do to get myself on track but there’s still a part of me that’s disappointed I let it happen. Has anyone had a similar experience that later worked alcohol back into there life with success of keeping food control and if so what steps did you take? I know I should have just one drink and maybe it wouldn’t have happened so next time I fully plan on trying one glass of wine in a resteraunt setting so that I’m not tempted with a full bottle of wine still sitting in the fridge... does that sound like an ok plan? I do know that maybe alcohol will always be a good trigger and I’m ready to accept that but I’d like to go into a smart reintroduction with alcohol before I write it off as off limits for me because I do enjoy wine or I did before whole30.

I think you did great!!! Maybe your next whole30 you won’t weigh in or maybe you will either way I’m happy your happy!! I’m not a big forum user because of some of the same responses you have gotten. I came from WW where yes the rules aren’t the same but if you “slipped” up the community didn’t remind you, you did it wrong they supported you only is getting back up and trying again. Now again I know this is a different program and there are rules but following the food side of things 100% to me is a whole30 so I’m happy for you! Congrats! Also a Side note. My first whole30 I smoked... yes I know same situation here I didn’t follow one rule and followed all others but my second I didn’t. And I wouldn’t have wanted anyone to downgrade my progress, which is why I didn’t post about it on here because it would have made me feel bad and maybe I would never have tried again.

I started sep 10 to!! How is it going for you so far?! First week and a little around day 15 were hard for me but seems easy breezy now... hopefully that lasts! Any significant changes your happy about so far? I’m 28 about to be 29 and needed to get a hold of my eating before I ate my way to 200 lbs which I was only 170 when I started but was spiraling out of control since I gained 23 lbs in 6 months
