Guest Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I recently completed a whole 30, felt great and didn't cheat. However, I have badly off-roaded and sugary things and caffeine have crept back into my diet (mainly due to boredom or emotional eating) I keep trying to restart my whole30 but it becomes a case of 'I'll start tomorrow, I'll start tomorrow' Really need a kick up the backside to get back on track before I start putting weight on!

Tj V Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I know how you feel. I completed my first W30 back in March and lost 9 lbs. Reintroduced dairy and things were going well, but then one thing led to another and now I've gained back 3.5 lbs, I'm not sleeping right, taking over the counter acid pills, on top of my prescription pills, feel bloaty and generally icky. So, I came to a decision today...do I want to go on struggling, berating myself, feeling icky, gaining weight, being rundown, etc? Or do I want to suck it up, put on my big girl pants and get back to it? So, as of today, I'm embarking on the Whole 70! I have 70 days until I go on vacation and I am NOT going to go on vacation feeling fat and miserable! I'm committing to sticking to this because I know that it made me feel a whole lot better and I'm tired of this insanity I get myself in to, with swearing to do better, eating crap anyway and then beating myself up for being a loser! I'm better than this and I'm guessing you are too! It's like giving up smoking. When I smoked I really loved it. Enjoyed having a cig after meals and with coffee, etc. Didn't want to give it up and found every excuse under the sun to stick with it, but in my head I knew that it was killing me. Well, my bad eating is killing me too. I don't want to end up with Diabetes or Heart Disease like my Mom. She, by the way, is going back on this with me and we are shooting for getting her off her meds completely! She's 77! So, let's do this, ok? And let's get pumped and excited about it!! Good luck on your journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Are you going to Paris or did you already take your trip? I would wait until I got back to do another one. Maybe just try to eat one whole30 compliant meal a day. I felt the same way after mine was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yep - same with me and sugar! I know it does me NO favours in terms of mental health and weight gain, but I'm like 'oh it tastes so nice' or 'i'm tired, i need caffeine' I am going to Paris on Sunday, where I want to stick to whole30 where possible for meals (like I do now) as it keeps my blood sugar stable, but not beat myself up about snacks/alcohol.

homerfrizzell Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 There's a definite connection between the sugar and caffeine. You have something sugary so get tired so have caffeine - this is something we learned on our Whole 30 and are still working on dealing with. I like your plan for Paris. Bon voyage.
