Clare_S Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi, This is day 8 of my first Whole 30 & so far things have been largely positive. (Thank god for the timeline so I could rationalise my extreme tiredness and feelings of rage a couple of days ago!) I just wanted to post and share what has been, for me, a surprising 'win' of the programme so far. I'm just back from the supermarket and ready to start batch cooking for the week. I felt so good in the supermarket, shopping from my list and buying healthy food. This may sound silly, but the reason I felt so good is that I had absolutely no inclination whatsoever to buy any junk - no chocolate, crisps or sweets or diet Coke - at all. I walked past it all without a second glance. (Even though I'm buying organic meat, eggs etc, I reckon not buying junk means my grocery bills will be coming down too!) Anyway, hope everyone has a good week. I just wanted to revel a little in this new feeling of control! Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Salazar Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 exactly - when I'm not buying all the little extra junk that I usually throw into the cart, the cost actually comes down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iteach Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Great job! I have to shop for the multi-type of eaters in my house--so in order to lower this grocery bill, I learned to leave them at home. Best wishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare_S Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks guys - right now I'm trying to find the small 'wins' to focus on. Much as I'd love this to kickstart some weight loss, if it changes the way I think about food then that will be a whole lot more useful! Have a lovely day.

louisehoare Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well done! I love this feeling too...can feel quite smug putting all the meat, veg, fruit and nothing much else on the conveyor belt thing! Enjoy the wins, even the small ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv.caroline Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I totally agree! I made my shopping list online yesterday and loved seeing the huge portion of the list dedicated to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare_S Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Day #10 and I'm still loving the feeling of control - I was (is it too early to say was?!) such an impulse buyer of junk! I think the main thing I am appreciating is the feeling of genuine fullness; I haven't had to snack between meals at all. Hope everyone else is doing well.
