dlgallian Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm two days past completion of my first whole30, and I feel like hugging everyone I see. Finally! I struggled throughout, to be honest. I had trouble eating enough carbs to have energy, had some digestive issues, and really, REALLY missed alcohol at social events. But I made it, and today I feel spectacular. My victories: A lot less bloating. I don't weigh myself ever, but my pants certainly fit better, and it's almost all in my stomach. Almost NO PMS, aside from a little bit of irritability and bloating and fatigue. I barely even recognized it as PMS. No cravings. Yay! Making a lot better food choices. Last night was my first post Whole30 dinner. I went to a mexican place. I wanted to get pork belly tacos, because man, I could have pork belly tacos! But my gut told me to get the beautiful watermelon salad (that had no cheese in it) with a grilled chicken breast, and the whole time I was eating it I was like, oh man, I really made the right choice. This salad rocks. And afterwards I felt light and great. I saved money by not drinking! I was a cheap date. My peers and coworkers have more respect for me, I was honest about what I was doing and they all really were interested and gave me lots of credit. I'm falling asleep better and sleeping through the night. This morning I woke up naturally a little bit before 7 am and didn't want to keep sleeping. I struggled with mornings a LOT during my Whole30. Emotionally, I'm way more optimistic about my life. I can change my life to be who I want to be. In this arena and in any arena.
