ach324 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 When I started Whole30, I forgot until about 10 days in that I was going home for a week to visit family.... 2 days after my Whole30 ends. I know I know-- so dumb! I was feeling great about the program and didn't want to stop doing it, so I continued with it and have generally felt great. Not life changingly different, but for sure more consistent energy and better sleep, which I am fairly certain is due to lack of sugar. Sugar is horrible, y'all. Anyway here's my dilemma; I have several big family events that I know despite my biggest efforts I won't be able to stay on plan for. Not worth the fight that would inevitably cause to ask relatives to change the time-honored recipes they make every year for xmas and everyone looks forward to. I also live in another country from my family and I would be sad if I missed the one opportunity I have a year to eat said family recipes-- and out at my favorite NYC restaurant. I want to do another whole30 in the new year but I can't do one properly in January or Feb: I'm going on vacation at the end of Jan and the end of Feb and I have a feeling I will not be successful in telling people who don't speak English not to serve me dairy grains legumes or sugar... SO this is what I'm thinking: I'll try my best to stay on plan during the week that I'm home, other than the few meals that I know I won't be able to. Then when I get back on Jan 1st, I'll do another week of whole30, then a proper 10 day reintro. I also will eat very similar to whole30 as much as possible in my regular non-whole30 life because I haven't found it at all challenging and I don't strongly desire to have grains/dairy/beans on a daily basis anyway. Would that work? Or should I just accept that i've failed and move on with my life? Be honest with me! Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ach324 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yes sorry! I didn't see your other response before posting this-- wasn't sure if anyone was still checking the other one because it was old. Thanks again for your advice-- gonna give it two weeks at least.
