BethannM Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I never--in my life--felt better than toward the end of my first Whole30. I have restarted several times, only to get part way in and cheat myself right back out. I've been eating mostly paleo since my first Whole30 a little over a year ago, but haven't been totally faithful to that lifestyle. In the last few weeks, I've gotten sloppier and sloppier and just finished a bowl of Lucky Charms with store bought milk. (WHATWASITHINKING? Oh my aching gut! Oh my aching head!) That was my final straw. I injured my sacroileac (sp?) a few weeks ago and have been having horrible sciatic pain and numbness. I've seen an MD, fired him, and am now seeing a chiropractor and am having some miraculous healing. Or was. I got back into sugar. SUGAR, I HATE YOU. Twisted my leg all up in the paddock fence (because pain-free does not automatically equal restored range of motion when you're talking nerve damage and several weeks of unused atrophied muscle) at the same time I had given in big time to the sugar demons and guess what? I'm still hurting. It's just TIME. My physical body does best on a strict paleo diet. Most people's do, but i've got some food sensitivities/intolerances/whatever-you-want-to-call-them that really wreak havoc with me. I can't be the best me when I don't eat the way my particular body was created to eat. Time to kick the poison out of the diet again. In fact, I'm up writing this because I can't sleep, and i think that's because of dairy and sugar. So what did I do? I ate more dairy and sugar. NO MORE. Morning will come, and with it, my Whole30. Hi, gang. I'm back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatork Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I got to that same point - I was eating mostly paleo, but mixed in some junk stuff that I really should not have been eating - including cereal! I'm only a few days in. Look forward to reading your updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
