CFholly Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi, I've been around the block here a couple of times before, and with success. Lately, life has gotten in the way of good choices - both of the food variety and of the mindfulness variety. I am flipping the calendar over to August and flipping the bird at my anxieties and my bad food attacks. 6 a day CrossFitter, non-smoker, non-drinker, 31, female, generalised anxiety disorder (3 years+) ... time to get things back on track. Join me on my Whole30, as I wipe the slate clean on a pretty terrible couple of months. Raise your glass of water, and toast to better health - happy tummy, happy mind, happy body!

amberino21 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 We don't have anxiety disorders, but both my husband and I have noticed a huge sense of calm, and been a lot less stressed since being on the whole 30.....that's a huge benefit for us Is there a reason for the snacks? Perhaps your meals could have been bigger, and included more vegies, especially with breakfast, so the snacks weren't necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Welcome back Holly and good luck! I am on day10 of my third....

CFholly Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 @amberino21 You know what - you have totally just been a light bulb moment for me! I haven't been making my meals nearly big enough! Thank you for your kind advice. I shall prepare a bigger feast tomorrow morning :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bet Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Good luck! I also have general anxiety disorder and believe it is gut related. I am on meds, but I have felt better emotionally since being on W30. As much as I hate to admit it, maybe it's the lack of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFholly Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Haha Bet! Wine is devine, that's for sure. Nice to have someone here who has a commonality in GAD - although I wouldn't wish for anyone else to feel how I do. I am also on meds, but still feel like I could feel better - it's hard to really explain to anyone else. But all I know is I just dont feel quite right. I need to do this to get things back in track with nutrition as I also believe its a big factor in anxiety issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberino21 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'd up your eggs to at least 3 - that would help a lot with extra protein and a little extra fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
