birder Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wow, I slipped this week and gave into some stress. I finished my whole 30 a week ago yesterday. I introduced a small bit a dairy and some corn but I didn't want anything else. I ate a handful of peanut M&M's my husband left sitting around and two cookies (coconut flour sweetened with dates and a few chocolate chips). I crashed hard emotionally. I could hardly function. My stress level went through the roof and I just wanted to cry. I felt that way this morning and went to work feeling so crabby. I went shopping on the way home and just felt my mood lifting and I put lots of good meat and veggies in my cart and planned to go home and cook for the week again so I can be balanced and feel good. I figure it had to be the m&m's. I have a daughter who had behavior (ADD) issues that were tied to food coloring when she was young and she still will not touch it with a 10 foot pole. I didn't think I reacted to it like that and avoided it (especially around her) now I see it really does do me in. That was just scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kew Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sounds like a good -- if somewhat hard -- lesson! And good for you for reacting to the horrible feelings by shopping for good food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
