Guest Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Gosh I'm so annoyed/upset/deflated right now. Day 21 got me. A family meal got me. I was doing so well; resisting my almost daily-in-the-evening-wine habit, attacking the sugar dragon, had absolutely no binges, I was feeling good, happier in myself, less of a twit to my other half etc etc... The past few days I've felt quite down and sad, and tireeeed. Meals were similar and water intake similar as the previous however many days. Tonight I sat down for a nice meal with my family at home. Everyone was drinking. My mum sat down with my favourite glass of wine for herself and kept offering me some. I couldn't resist and went to pour myself some from the fridge. I then ate some non-complaint sausages, and joined in for the dessert of gf&df brownie with almond milk ice cream. My stomach is in complete shock and I feel awful physically at the moment (and mentally!) Kicking myself right now. Can someone help me pick up the pieces and help moderate the self-hatred...as this will just lead to more binges and falling off the wagon?

Karen_Suep Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 You made it three weeks. Try again and add 9 more days. You can do it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmg1993 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It happens. Don't beat yourself up. Take a break for a few days. Breathe and then try again. It is so worth it and most of all worth it for you. I also struggle with binge eating and this is the only thing that has worked. But it took me three tries to get it right. And now I am doing a W90 and have never felt better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeBean Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Champions are not the people who never fail, but the people who never quit! You've proven to yourself you can do this & have been about the forums motivating others. I would bet that if you spoke clearly to your family about the whole30 (and your "whys" for wanting it) they would respect your efforts and cheer you on rather than urge you to slip. Think how upset they'd be if they heard how you're beating yourself up now? You've got this, you're too accomplished to let one meal rip you apart!

Guest Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks all. I feel so unwell today, God knows what I was doing to my body beforehand. The foods I ate weren't even that different to how I ate pre whole 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippa WG Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 So that's your incentive to continue! You'll feel so much better after a couple more days back on the Whole30. Put this into the basket called "my not so perfect Whole30 but still damn awesome compared to my previous way of eating"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen_Suep Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'm doing reintros and doing them with a sinus infection isn't smart. I finally kicked the infection and started reintroducing things and wouldn't you know, super sore throat after legumes! It's ok as I've proven to myself I can several times live without legumes! But that feeling? Yeah it convinced me to stick to whole30 mostly, and for me, health is worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
