Rebekah U Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I am a little nervous as I jump back into Paleo full force. I did it a few years ago and it turned dark. I was going through two back-to-back early term miscarriages and the horrible depression that went along with those. I ended up using the auto-immune protocol to attack myself and basically stopped eating. It was awful. Then I stopped all together and have eaten anything and everything since then. I tried WW for a while, but could not afford the meetings and was not really into it. I don't like eating junk food and calling it healthy as long as I'm losing weight. I am ready to focus on healthy foods, moving my body, and learning to appreciate all the gifts this life has to offer. If I happen to lose weight along the way, that's great. But to me, the focus is all about what I am gaining on this journey. I am working on increasing my energy. I am looking forward to learning new recipes. I already bought a new vegetable that I've never cooked before! I am increasing my organizational skills by preplanning menu ideas and getting lots of food prepped and ready to throw into a meal. These are all wonderful things that I know this program will give me. And that's what I need to think about through this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista Billows Rodriguez Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Rebekah, I'm so sorry you've gone through such pain. Please keep posting here during your W30, it truly helps to stay accountable and connected to others who are embracing health in the same way.

AuntJane Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Rebekah, I'm so sorry for your losses. I can relate to a lot of what you said, I have a pretty dark dieting history too (eating disorders). I really like the way you're approaching your Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebekah U Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thank you both for your kind words. It's rough, but we are not as alone as it can sometimes feel. Btw, I made Pad Thai for dinner from http://theclothesmakethegirl.com/2011/05/08/paleo-pad-thai/and it was amazing! I hope this good feeling sticks around.
