ddgo Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 yessirree! Did the thing! these are some unexpected effects: unbidden memories came up from when i was much younger, and I felt more like the old self that I didn't realize I had left behind. After years of constantly pushing myself, chronic pain and a heart condition that i daily dosed with wine, always feeling rushed and harried, Whole30 caused me to slow down, to pay better attention to self care... i seemed to feel dreamy and quiet, which was not what I expected at all. I had been originally attracted by Whole30's reported impact on sleep -- unfortunately, due to pain my chronic insomnia was only dented a bit. I didn't have cravings, and having an overstuffed fridge was a novelty! I liked that there was no negotiation and decision-making, and i really like my new habits -- I'm going to modify some other habits soon... it was surprisingly benign and easy... yay!

Mistyfire Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I work in healthcare and I always tell families that they can't be any good to others if they aren't taking care of themselves. Taking care of yourself is often so hard to do. You are on your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
