artchic435 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've done two successful Whole30s and about four where I've fallen off the wagon. Most of the time I'm about 80% paleo, good about cutting out grains and I've never liked a lot of sugar. With my first Whole 30, I did not waiver at all. And, it paid off. It was amazing. All of these weird "symptoms" I've had for years and years disappeared, one by one. I finally slept. It took getting the first good night's sleep of my life on the Whole 30 to realize how bad my insomnia actually was. I lost between 15-20 pounds but those pounds made a huge impact on inches. I've been overweight most of my life. I had so much energy, more energy than I even had as a child! It was AMAZING! There are just a ton of things I could add here to support this. I truly believe that the Whole 30 program is capable of saving lives. I am not "off the Whole30 wagon". This makes me feel like a little bit (well a BIG) failure! I find myself falling down on the food prep and then opting for something I know will make me fee horrible. Or I get stressed or overworked and opt again for something on the no list. I don't understand why I keep doping this. I'm also not very good about asking for help and I don't really have a good support system near. So, I finally decided that I would try the forums here, if only to write something down that I can hold myself accountable. I keep telling myself, Whole 30 isn't a punishment. I love the food, I love the way the lifestyle makes me feel and I need to just follow thru... So, I guess that's why I'm posting. I also want to be a good example for people struggling with weight or other health issues where Whole 30 could make a positive difference... so HERE WE GO! Sunday (Oct 11) will be my next DAY 1.
