I Can't Believe It

[KathyV]

I have been doing the Whole30 for about 3mths now and I love what it has done for me as far as what and why I eat the way I do and I feel wonderful!  But this morning I had, what I thought, was a "love affair" with three pieces of oatmeal cake(which I mad for my husband and never sampled the batter what so ever...which was always a problem for me) but it ended up making the tip of my tongue felling weird and "raw"?   I realize it was eaten out of emotional stress.  I also realized that it did not taste as good as I thought it would, which was a bonus thanks to the Whole30 program.  My question is that at my next meal do I adjust anything to compensate for the cake I ate?  Or do I just go on and eat according to the template and chalk it up to" never going there again".    Looking forward to hear form you guys

I would just get back on the horse with Whole30 templated meals, look at it as a lesson learned, and move on.

thank you, GFChris!   I will be moving on......

I have a horrible habit of adjusting the rest of my day for the treat I just ate and that attitude of punishment (which is how I view it; maybe not how you view it) just compounds the bad feelings and leads to more restriction and a greater chance of further poor food choices.

 

I say move on!  If you start to do this regularly then you will need to re-evaluate.  Probably the only red flag is that you ate 3… not one.  But great you recognize the probable reason for the slip up.

 

A good experiment, really.  You did not enjoy it?  Now you know you really are NOT missing anything!  Affairs are never as great as they sound.  

 

Proud of you for making it 3 months Whole30.  That is a real accomplishment.  I can't make it 2 weeks.
