mamarezzy Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Been on the WHOLE30 since Feb 1. For health reasons (persistent yeast) but I've been "off" for about a week now. Keeping close to WHOLE30 but eating CHOCOLATE!!!! mmmmmm and CAKE mmmmmm and ICE CREAM mmmmmmm I know it's entirely related to current stress and hormones (darn cycle) and being super busy. BUT I know I need to "tighten up the reins" and get some control! anyone else? I know I need to be following WHOLE30 foods, I know I feel better when eating them. It's just SO easy to have "just a little" and then a little more and a little more. Next thing you know you've devoured 2 pieces of chocolate cake because after 1, really the damage is done, so what's another! In no other time would I EVER have 2 pieces of cake! I'm having such a hard time wrapping my head around getting going again. I'm just going to do it, but I don't like it. I'm kinda mad about having to continue after all it's not really my "fault" I eat so healthy even before this, I'm not looking/needing to lose weight. It's all because of stupid kidney stones, causing infections needing antibiotics and surgery where I "picked" up c-diff allowing all my body flora to become out of whack. All right, rant over. Back to boiling my chicken for broth and meal prepping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmeese Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I hope you're back on track and feeling good again. I did a Whole30 in April and finished in May. After 1 meal off for Mothers Day, I went back on. Last week, I strayed off. It started with a weekend away at a fancy resort with delicious food. Then, because I didn't do my usual shop and prep for the week ahead, I continued off plan. I know exactly what you mean about how just having a little leads to just a little more and then more and more and more. It took about a week for the cumulative effects of eating "just a little bit" of gluten, dairy and sugar to hit, but I feel lousy. I've got a gluten rash on my arms, a puffy face, queasiness and am tethered to the bathroom. Anyway, here's hoping you post again saying that you're feeling great and enjoying the Whole30 and experiencing a more aligned system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeGA"gardener" Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hope you are going cold turkey Mamarezzy with all the food without brakes That stuff the triggers will do you in! I know what they are for me so I've eliminated any resemblance of them I'm still W30 since 5/4 Restarted 6/1 after Day 26 wedding crashed and burned However you can pick yourself up and go cold turkey Do you have a hobby? It may help to busy or reward yourself with something other than food or beverage Adding things one at a time is helpful but I plan on adding only the things I might do well with and in small quantities I know what's out for sure So post W30 I plan a slo roll no rush I'm not going back to the other side I pray Good luck!
