Tropicaltrish Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hello! This is technically my 3rd Whole30. Last June, I was tired of being overweight and thought the Whole30 was the answer. I did it for 60 days, successfully. I lost a ton of weight and inches. I was proud of myself. However, I didn't have the right mindset. I only did it to lose weight. After my Whole60, I didn't reintroduce food back correctly and I went off the deep end. I gained all the weight back, plus some. This month, I went to my doctor and got a physical. It's been years (probably 5-6) since I've been to the doctor for an annual exam. I was nervous, because my cholesterol the last time was a little over 200. Well, turns out my cholesterol dropped significantly, BUT I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. While this makes me feel a little better about my weight gain, it scared the bejesus out of me. The doctor asked me if I wanted to treat or wait 6 months for a follow up. I decided to wait and do some research. Everything points to doing the Whole30 and committing to this lifestyle. So, I prepped and planned and read the new book! I am ready and just started today I am really excited this time because I'm making it a lifestyle change. It's not about losing weight anymore....it's about my health. So, I am committing to a Whole180 until I go back to the doctor for my follow up. Fingers crossed that new, awesome habits will be made!
