feminist_therapist Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 My boyfriend and I will be starting Whole30 together on June 1! Excited to make some positive changes in my relationship with food, but a little nervous to give up some of my staple foods (pasta, etc.) Can't wait to go on this journey with the support of so many lovely people!

TinaH2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wishing you all the best. I started last Monday, pasta was also a staple in my house. When you have the go to food, cooking whole30 stretches the creativity gene in the kitchen. Having a support system is great - everyone here has been super. Blogging has made this easier, it seems to help me hold myself accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feminist_therapist Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Just an update: I ended up beginning on June 2nd, because I completely forgot about my best friend's going away party scheduled for the night of June 1st. Unfortunately, was not able to get any Whole30 compliant food from the bar and ate a couple of tamales. So I will consider my Whole30 start date to be June 2nd. (My boyfriend has done amazing so far, and hasn't had an off day yet!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinaH2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 so how's it going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feminist_therapist Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 So far so good! The two of us have continued to stay compliant without too many issues (eating out a couple of times was rough, but we stayed true! It's also been nice to see how the two of us have adapted to the program, so we no longer feel as if we're "missing out" on any non-compliant foods. My next test will come these upcoming three days, as I'm going on a mini-retreat with my friends from graduate school. I've packed plenty of compliant food for myself, but I will definitely be around many non-compliant temptations. My friends should definitely be respectful and supportive of me, so I'll just need a little extra willpower for the next three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feminist_therapist Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Stayed Whole30 compliant without any issue on the retreat! I'm happy to report although some of my favorite sweet treats (e.g. cinnamon buns and s'mores) were present, I felt no overwhelming cravings to eat them! The only reason I felt bummed to not be able to eat them was when my group was doing the s'mores around the fire pit, but I also felt comfortable to be present without eating any noncompliant food. Onward to the next 17 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feminist_therapist Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 I am happy to say that my boyfriend and I successfully completed our first Whole30 together! We are currently in the process of reintroducing some foods, but the two of us are mostly content to continue following the program. I must say I am very happy at the results, I had numerous non-scale victories and I was happy to cut down on some weight too. I will definitely be interested in doing the Whole30 program again!
