almondjoyless Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I suddenly understand why most people quit on Day 11 or 12. (Honestly, I think most people quit on Day 1 and we just don't know they ever started... but that's unrelated.) I've loved the Whole30 so far - more energy, compliments on my skin, and so on, but today I'm just... done. I haven't even had any really strong off-plan cravings, and the ones I've had have passed pretty quickly. It's more that I'm just effing tired of thinking about it. I was out to dinner and I was "that guy" while ordering. I *hate* being that guy (girl, whatever). Everyone was drinking but me and I just wanted some $@#!@ french fries. So now I'm here, NOT chasing my sugar dragon, and being generally resentful. Thanks for listening, internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bussikrista Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm on day 13 and I can relate. I'm happy I've made it this far, but I'm so sick of thinking of different things to make for dinner already. No appetite and so tired. Blah, blah, blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocks223 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Agh I hear ya. Its like oh sorry i can't go out to eat because I'm on this trendy new diet that draws attention to me in any eating scenario...but you're nearly halfway done which is pretty sweet considering most of America cannot go a meal without something sweet or refined. You're doing this for you which is so easy to forget when everyone appears stress free whilst casually munching on chemicals. It seems more glorified than it is. You rock for nourishing your body despite the social annoyance of it all. Keep kicking it;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kel_be Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 DH made cookies for the kids and they are right there, eye level in the pantry. The thought crossed my mind, but I can't. I'm 1/3 of the way done and I can do anything for just 30 days. The pain in the butt is planning Easter lunch that we are hosting and trying to figure out at least 2 things I can eat. DH wants ham, what are the odds it won't have sugar. I know I'll get 20 questions when the dessert platter comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Day 11 I wanted to kill everyone and anyone, I sat in the toilet at work and cried. It gets better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLC1968 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks for the support! I had some intense food dreams last night, but I'm going strong! Those are insane, aren't they? I haven't had a doughnut in a couple of years but I feel like I did during my last Whole30 because the dreams were so REAL. I've found that being 'that guy' (or in my case 'that crazy lady') often enough over time makes it less of an issue. People in my world are generally used to me now.

almondjoyless Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yup, the food dreams are wild. Last night I dreamed I was eating spaghetti. I don't even like or want spaghetti. Body, you so crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPefy13 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 during my whole30 I had a dream that I forgot I was doing whole30 and started eating a sandwich or something (maybe subway? which I hate) and then I suddenly remembered that I wasn't supposed to be eating that and completely fell apart crying. in my dream. it was crazy on a couple levels.
