Alisonlcarver Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I decided to document my non-weight victories over the past 30 days before weighing myself. Here they are: I have learned to eat 3 meals a day, I have learned how to eat protein and veggies and fat at each meal to keep myself full and satiated until the next meal, I have learned that eating healthy fat is good, I have become fat-adapted, I have finally lost my diet coke craving (this happened just in the past week), I have learned how to fuel my workouts, I have learned that 5 days of cardio a week might be too much, I have learned that getting enough sleep is just as important as exercise and nutrition, I have learned to recognize when I want to eat due to habit, I have learned to eat when hungry and listen to my satiety cues, I have learned to stop eating when full even when there is still food left on my plate, I have learned that when I have a craving I need to ignore it and push through it and do something to take my mind off it like going on a walk or taking a nap and that it will go away on its own, I have learned that when I have a craving I do not need to indulge it with the thing I am craving or even with something less bad like fruit because my brain can't tell the difference and still thinks it's getting what it's craving, I have learned to eat at the table and pay attention as I eat, I have learned to not graze or snack and not eat while watching tv, I have learned that nuts probably hurt my stomach, I have learned that fruit is not a good pre- or post-workout snack, I have learned how to eat so that my blood sugar levels are regulated and I don't get hypoglycemic or cranky when I'm hungry, I have learned to appreciate whole real nutritious foods without added sugar or artificial ingredients. In addition, I lost 3.6 pounds, 0.2% body fat, 3/4" from my waist, and 1" from my hips! Thank you Whole30 for giving me Food Freedom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisonlcarver Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks! Just another small success today--my work threw a little party for me and my husband because we are leaving our jobs and moving in a week. Of course this party included a large delicious-looking sheet cake (of course!) Since I have not yet completed (or started yet, actually) my reintroduction, I decided not to partake in the cake because I want to keep my system clean for the experimental reintroduction phase. It was so hard because I am big on sweets, but I was able to think it out beforehand and realized that completing the reintroduction clean was better than eating a yummy looking piece of cake and possibly messing up my results. The way I got around it was to eat my home-brought Whole30 lunch and cut a piece of cake and put it in my cleaned out lunch Tupperware to eat at home later because I was too full from lunch. I wasn't actually too full, but it seemed an easy excuse to avoiding the cake. I hate to waste food, but once I got home, into the trash the cake went. I know myself and I can't have that sitting around tempting me. I really think it would have been ok to eat a piece if I had already completed my reintro but I'm glad I did not partake after all! Reintroduction is so important and I want real true results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
