Dewdrop75 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've read the book, been doing a lot of research and recipe searching, put together my meal plan for my first week and made my shopping list. I am ready! I just need to go do my grocery shopping. I'm actually really excited to start this. I have so many symptoms, too many to list, but my main ones are itchy skin, fibromyalgia, sugar cravings, tired all the time, hypothyroid, trichotillomania, etc. I have about 50+ lbs to lose, but I am not doing this for the weight loss, I am hoping though that weight loss will be a side effect of this new way of eating. I am not a big fan of vegetables, hopefully my taste will change throughout this and I can add to my veggie choices. ETA: I also joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and got my first share today. Really excited to see what I get in the coming weeks. Today I got Mustard Greens, Lettuce, Kale, Bok Choy, Green Onions and a dozen eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contessa Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well done Dewdrop! Sounds like you are setting yourself up for success. This is an amazing approach to life and food and everything in between. I hope you will enjoy all the benefits of eating real food and truly nourishing yourself. Have you signed up for the Whole 30 Daily emails? It's a small investment ($15 for a month of messages). I highly recommend signing up for those. They helped me a lot, especially when this way of eating was very new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketfan24 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I picked Sunday for my start date too. I've got about 15 pounds to lose, but I'm hoping to break my sugar addiction with this. I eat 75% clean already, but this is much stricter that what I've been doing and I think I need that. It leaves a lot of the guesswork out.

Dewdrop75 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thanks Contessa & jacketfan! Contessa, yes I did decide to sign up for the emails. I wasn't going to at first, but after reading some of the comments about them on the forum I decided to do it. I really want this to be successful, so I need all the resources I can get. I have not read today's (Day 1) email yet, but Day 0 was already really helpful. jacketfan, if you want to buddy up with me, I would love that, since we are starting on the same day we can keep each other motivated. Send me a PM if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
