BreannaRose Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Prior to Whole30: Constantly hungry,always eating. Eating my kids left overs. Feeding the kids and not thinking about my food habits. Eating out of emotions or boredom (I didn't realize I was doing this). Gaining weight, not fitting even my biggest clothes. Weighed more than I did when I was pregnant! Carbs, topped with carbs and a side of sugar. ☺ After Whole 30: Not hungry because I gave my body what it needed- healthy food! I ate more veggies than I have in my whole life combined! I've lost weight before, but this is the first time I've been HEALTHY. Down a size and a half, a bra size, and 13 lbs. It is so nice to fit into my clothes! I think about what I eat and don't eat out of stress or habit. What I did: To stay motivated, I read ISwF at the beginning, read this blog and as much info I could about eating clean. I joined FB groups on clean eating and Paleo to keep motivation in my news feed. This won't work for everyone, but I basically ate the same foods every day. I sauteed veggies (tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini), added a protein (eggs or tuna, sometimes chicken). Sometimes I'd eat it with a sweet potato or white potato but not every day. I just don't have time or focus to try a bunch of new recipes. If I was hungry between meals I'd try a glass of water with ice and lemon. If I needed a snack I'd just eat a small version of a meal. Now: I'll keep going! Why stop? Maybe I'll I introduce new foods when I'm down to a weight I like but for now I want to keep losing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertadee Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sounds like great success! I tend to experiment with different food more - I like a variety in my meals. Did you eat any fruit? I know we're not supposed to focus on it, but the fruit this time of year is so wonderful! I have been eating berries, watermelon, bananas and apples - about 1 or 2 servings per day.
