Javagal78 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I will never be able to properly put into words the wonders the last 30 days has done for me and this is just the start! I started this year out having quit a job that put a friendship in a hard place, I had weaned off of anxiety meds because I felt numb on them and had some long term personal issues rearing their ugly head. To say I was at a low point would be an understatement. I spent many days laying in my bed. This was not a good way to take care of myself, my relationship with my husband or my 3 lively children. I tried to start a Whole 30 twice but sugary carbs made me "feel better". I decided that I needed to fake it to make it. For my third attempt at the whole 30, I committed to getting dressed every day and fueling myself with good food, yoga 3x/ week, and at least 8 hrs of sleep/night. There were highs and lows to this journey but as each day passed, I was making it more than faking it. I noticed physical changes like sleeping well, my skin was clearing, my stomach bloat was diminishing. The emotional changes were even more noticeable. I awoke with purpose, felt more and more like my old peppy self and by the end of the 30 days, I couldn't remember when I had last had my trusty companion, anxiety, by my side. I've read here that 30 days is just a drop in the bucket to changing your health and years of unhealthy ways. I'm excited to see what the next 30 days and beyond brings as I wade through my post Whole 30 lifestyle. Measurements on day 1 Measurements on day 31 Chest 42" Chest 40" Waist 38".

wheelertrio Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Congratulations! Just wanted to mention that I experienced some anxiety this year and have been greatly helped by supplement called Gabatrol! It is some amazing stuff with no side effects for me other than no anxiety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntB Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Congrats!!! I just weaned myself off of paxil this year. I've been off for about 45 days. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. I too, have had less anxiety during the whole30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
