Relapse

[Badwolf]

So I had a relapse.  I was SO frustrated with not getting the results I'd gotten in the past, that it was as if something else took over and I'd forgotten all the amazing results I did experience.  I went straight for a buncha junk food and ate everything in sight!

 

I feel awful. I feel like I've gained 20 pounds.  I didn't sleep enough last night or the night before, my joints hurt, and I'm incredibly inflamed (my fingers didn't even bend properly when I woke up this morning).  I was quick to get angry today and snapped a couple times.  I just want to get back to where I was.

 

My mom and I have been talking about doing a Whole14, so I thought I'd just go with that to get myself back on track.

 

And if I get to Day 14 and I'm still not where I want to be, I'm going to continue and work on stress reduction techniques and look at some other lifestyle changes.

I think that it's awesome you realized how the junk food made you feel and doing a whole14 sounds great! I am on day 7 of my first whole30 and still going through the tired phase but I have noticed a difference. I find that when I am stressed, I want to eat something that will comfort me. I am looking for something else that will help me feel less stressed. Breathing exercises work sometimes!

Good luck to you!

Thanks, Brittany!  I'm thinking breathing exercises are the way to go too.  (;

 

Congrats on making it to day 7!  Good luck with the rest of your Whole30!!
