DEDGirl5150 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 So, today is Day 29. The past week has been the hardest yet. I have been irritable, moody & my cravings & desire for non-compliant foods has been very high. My willpower has been stronger than the cravings, barely. However, my big issue is that for the past 2 days I wake up very depressed & full of anxiety. I am a very positive person. I haven't felt feelings of worthlessness or depression like this in at least a decade! I go to sleep meditating, positive & feeling good, then wake up feeling worthless, depressed & full of anxiety. It goes away after I'm up for awhile, but, ugh! I know it's due to the Whole30, but why?? It's almost like my timeline is reversed from the published one. I felt great in the first couple of weeks & awful now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Is it possible that you could have been wa-aa-y behind the timeline? Somewhere in the middle of my first whole 30 I noticed I was 10 - 15 days behind the timeline. My solution? Was just to add more days. Either that or finish your whole 30 and maybe do another one soon? I think I had 1 whole 30 that I became depressed close to end as well. It lasted a few days but it did pass.

jillian Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 My guess - you really need starchy veg right now - like at every meal. Give it a try. I had the same problem during my first Whole30 right at the very end. I was so down and negative that my boyfriend was a bit freaked out by it (totally unlike me). Then I had a lot of squash and sweet potato with my meals - and I felt like a different woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEDGirl5150 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thank you! I do think my timeline is totally wonky! Also, I haven't been eating very many starchy veg at all this week. I very much dislike sweet potatoes, but love squash. I will have some today for sure. Thanks for the feedback!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 If the squash isn't enough, add some fruit as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
