JRidel Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I posted this in the ladies only section also, so I'll just c&p here for more advice...I started Whole30 on Wednesday October 22nd. I was doing good for the first 4 days, then on day 4, I started feeling awful. I guess I didn't realize (or was in denial) that it was normal to feel the way I was feeling, so I threw in the towel. I thought Whole30 wasn't meant for me. At lunch on Sunday the 26th I had a bite of my husband's potato skins with cheese. I felt instantly sick. So I didn't eat anymore. At dinner I had a bowl of homemade meat sauce (no added sugar) with whole grain pasta. Again, I felt sick. I had a few chocolate covered raisins, again, sick. I decided on Monday that I'd start Whole30 again on Wednesday. I was more prepared, I understood more that it was normal and I was mad at myself for giving up already. I didn't eat very different in those days "off", just the above mentioned cheats. My question is, should I have started over? I feel like the frustration of being "behind" is getting to me. I'd be on day 10 right now if I hadn't stopped, but instead, I'm on day 3 and I feel like the previous attempt was a failed attempt. If that makes sense. I feel like I know the answer to this...

kirkor Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yes you were correct to start over, BUT don't look at the first few days as a "failed attempt" but rather a "practice run". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRidel Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yes you were correct to start over, BUT don't look at the first few days as a "failed attempt" but rather a "practice run". I was afraid of that It's just super frustrating! I wasn't far into my first round, so that's a plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Remember your body doesn't want you to change. Gluten and sugar are like a drug and your body wants them. The more your body fights the better because you know you are going in the right direction. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
