Mdln Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm sad to say that this is my fourth time attempting the Whole30. Each of the previous times I quickly caved on the third or second days due to stress or simply not being prepared and not knowing what to eat. I really related to Melissa's story of struggling with food and weight; over the past year I've lost 35lbs with Weight Watchers (my lowest weight was 117 at 5'7" -- not healthy at all!) and gained back every pound in two months since coming home from college. When I weighed on before Day 1, I was at 156.4. My relationship with food is totally messed up to say the least, but I'm hoping that the Whole30 will help me get to a better place. I'm currently on day 5 and I'm proud to have made it farther than I've had before. I know I have a long way to go, but hopefully I'll be able to stay strong and just enjoy good food! I'm starting this log a little late, but I'll just post yesterday's meals first. Day 4 M1: Scrambled eggs with leftover shredded roast, kale, and broccoli, cooked in coconut oil M2: Homemade chicken patty with mushrooms and kale, snap peas, and cashews M3: Leftover chicken patty with broccoli, butternut squash, and half of an avocado I would love to hear any suggestions or just words of support. Anything would be much appreciated! Good luck to everyone! Let's do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteFYI Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Mdln, you are awesome! I was successful once doing a whole30 (but when I think back, I'm not sure that's completely true - i just stuck with it for a little more than 30 days but had some no-nos in there). SInce then I have tried so many times - I can't even count how many, and usually don't even make it a full week! Anyway, what I'm trying to say is we've got this! High five, sister!

Kmlynne Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Welcome back to w30! Your meals look good - but hard to judge the size. About the best advice that I can give to you is to make a copy of the template and post it in your kitchen so you can see it when you are prepping your meals. Remember when you have eggs, a serving is what you can hold in your hand - for most that is 3-4 eggs. Good luck on your journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennmari Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 You can do it! Sometimes it takes a little time to get started, but you will get it. I had a few false starts, but I think that posting up and getting support is a great tool to help us through. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
