Kirsteen Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I found the very best thing that helped me was signing up for the daily emails. I really enjoyed getting them, found them really informative and just knowing that to get the next days, I had to stay compliant that day really helped. They were well worth it. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Plus with every email, you get to click a "I did it" button. So fun. Also plan plan plan. Then plan some more. Having readily available food (see plan) is so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS32013 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 And maybe avoid certain social situations or cut out early. It's only 30 days. How did you feel after eating the rice and wine? For me, the headache from wine and belly discomfort from sugary stuff (I haven't tried rice) do a pretty good job of getting me back on track in my post-W30 world.

7babies Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 No reason for shame. Disappointment maybe but not shame. Eating is not a moral issue. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 No reason for shame. Disappointment maybe but not shame. Eating is not a moral issue. Best of luck. Yes! Very well said. Eating is not a moral issue. So true. We have so much talk about eating: "I was good." Or, "I was bad." So when you are "bad" you get down on yourself, which makes it more likely you'll punish yourself by eating more stuff that makes you feel worse and on and on. When you take the moral issue out and think of it in terms of eating something that will make you more healthy or less healthy, it moves eating out of the moralistic, willpower, discipline, good/bad area into the area of choice and responsibility. The emails do help a lot. And figure out what you can do differently in a social situation. Though, I agree about skipping social stuff in the early days. I skipped a b'day party in a bar on Day 4 bc I wasn't sure I could stick with my plans. Give yourself the best chance for success. You can do this.
