Amica Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 omg! I just can't believe it! I've been so exceedingly proud of myself all week for sticking to this. I've been feeling awesome. No cheating and it hadn't even been hard. And then today it hit me.... Omg, I ate edamame yesterday!!! I didn't even give it a second thought until I was shopping today at costco and walked past a giant bag of "Frozen Edamame - Soy Beans", and it hit me like a ton of bricks!! I accidentally cheated. guess today was day 1 again? Seriously Bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamH Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Technically, yes. But great job all of the other moments of your Whole30! Just start over. One more week won't kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted May 19, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 19, 2014 Edamame looks like vegetables, so I get how you did it. Unfortunately, soy is one of the big issue foods, so it is important to keep going 30 days so you can be sure you are clear of it before the end.

Amica Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks for the replies! I was really bummed about having to "start over", but then I thought, "you know, this really isn't hard - hasn't been for the last week - What's another 7 days?" So I pick myself up and move on. No more beating myself up. One thing I have noticed since my slip, is that whereas the rest of the week I've been waking up feeling really good, the last two mornings I feel like I've been hit over the head with something... Perhaps related to the edamame?? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soozer Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Great attitude! Day one or day 8, at least you are learning about your body and treating it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geminimik Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 isn't it funny...somethings just don't hit you till later. I'm curious, did you notice anything different the day after. In the very beginning I had a couple of tortilla chips with my carnitas salad...and I think I might be sensitive to corn...I swear I was lethargic within 15 minutes and just felt slimed the next day. I love actually being able to easily identify foods that are not helpful for me. MamaMiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
