drtracyb Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I met my husband for lunch today. He chose a barbecue restaurant and I agreed, thinking barbecue meant it would have some sort of compliant grilled meat. It was all pulled pork with sweetened barbecue sauce, rolls, and all the carbohydrate-laden sides. I stood there at the cash register, horrified, telling my husband there was nothing I could eat! The look of horror on my face was classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyAbby Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The snacks you keep in your purse are no longer fruit or nuts. You keep a couple packets of tuna in olive oil and grab a veggie of sorts for if you're hungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vian Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You get excited out of all proportion to how cool it actually is when you find the PERFECT jar for your home-made mayo. It was a coconut butter jar that I liked, so I washed it and saved it, then realized it was the perfect size and shape for mayo (straight sides and wide mouth, easy to scrape). I was literally jumping up and down going "OH! OH! IT'S PERFECT!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andi Olson Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 You scream in delight because avocados are 64¢ at Aldi. 64 CENTS!! And you buy 11 (because you don't want to go overboard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeannebean Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Those clothes you keep in the back of the closet just in case they will fit again one day, are too big for you now. Oh, tell it! I'm looking forward to "shopping" in my closet again, soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 ... She spends too much time during the day reading the Forums instead of working! Seriously this is like a sugary sweet treat for me - I should try to give it up since I'm on Day 7 of my first Whole30. "reading the Forums" They are a sweet treat. I have neighbors who are paying $300.00/month to attend a local diet center. That's for the encouragement. Your food is above and way beyond that. They have to buy so much of these instant protein drinks, bars, puddings and other garbola. It's loaded to the gills with artificial sweeteners. They can drink diet pops, "arti" lemonades and arti fruit drinks. You should see what they look like after a year. Oh, they're thin as rails. Their hair looks like twigs and their skin ... a dead leaf. No thank you. I've used these blogs and they've catapulted me into the universe of the living and not the walking dead.

Twilightfirefly Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 ...when all they have to offer you at their house is: cold water, mineral water, fruit infused water, fruit infused sparkling water, or coconut water. Oh, and unsweetened iced tea. (because kombucha is too expensive to share...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvictoria Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 This is so awesome. Just read all 14 pages. I'm getting ready to start my first Whole 30 on August 4th, and I feel like I'm joining some kind of exclusive club. When you're getting ready to start your first Whole 30 and you spend almost every waking moment looking for recipes, reading blogs, and making grocery lists. When your cart at Amazon.com contains coconut milk, almond flour, coconut aminos, tahini, a new crock pot, and a bunch of new kitchen utensils.
