Jennyleigh Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Anyone else keep pushing back their start date? I guess I'm scared to start b/c I'm scared of overcoming temptations along the way. I love reading all the awesome success stories and want to be one myself, I just need to get my head in order and START! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 What's scarin' ya? Maybe we can help. I came to Whole30 from a steady diet of barbecue potato chips and Starbucks mochas. So I know you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ordinarily I'm a proponent of seizing the moment, taking action now, etc, but given the trepidation you've had so far and the holiday season being upon us, I would suggest waiting. The holidays can be stressful enough on their own. Having to maintain vigilant food awareness across the variety of family and work functions this time of year might be an additional stressor that you are not ready to deal with. I think it would be better to be able to commit fully and truly *know* that you will be successful because you simply will NOT allow yourself to stray from the course, than to feel that you "should" go for it and then cut it short and feel guilty and repeat the cycle.

freshstart30 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I was a little nervous at first. Reading the book definitely helped. But I am a planner, so for me, I could not start until I had a meal plan. I went through and made a plan for all three meals for the first seven days. I also made an accoompanying grocery list. After I planned out my meals and SAW what it was going to look like, it became much more manageable. If you haven't made a meal plan, maybe that will help push you to a start date. It did for me! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 A shopping list and a meal plan are a good start, as is giving your pantry a clean out Remember even if you stumble, restarting at Day 1 is always an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
