vypen Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Dear all, I've been on track for 23 days now. Eating healthy has become easier as each day passes. It was great, until yesterday. My grandfather passed away. As paramedics carried him out on the stretcher, I saw his blue and purple face. I knew he wouldn't make it. And he didn't. This is another real challenge I've to face now that I have a close family member gone! Just as I found out, I immediately wanted a soy chai tea and food, ANY FOOD. It didn't help that I was hungry at the time. I craved everything that I shouldn't have. While mourning, I thought, this is it, I'm caving. Twenty-three days, gone! All that hard work gone! So I thought, until I found out my brother's fiance had some good eggs. Thank you eggs. The next 7 days will be hard, but I can do this. Thank you for listening!

jhmomi Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 So sorry about your grandfather. Peace be with you and your family, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splash883 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe just taking a 10 minute walk or something else to get you moving a bit, then find something on the whole30 compliant list that can become a "comforting-type" of food. I love hot bone broth. I love sweet potatoes w/ghee. Take it day by day, hour by hour and you'll get through it. You can do this. Prayers for you during this difficult time.

Kirsteen Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm really, really sorry for your loss. It must be really hard for you just now. I know the temptation is to turn to well known comfort food but, right now, your body needs all the nourishment it can get to see you through this. Be gentle on yourself and kudos to you for not caving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereiam Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm sorry for your loss too. It is very difficult to lose someone you love. And I bet your grandfather loved you and is looking down from heaven and cheering you on. Good for you for eating eggs. You can make it through this!

MonicaRenee144 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I am so sorry for your loss, and that you had to see your grandfather that way. Losing a loved one is very tough. Kudos to you for staying on track! Maybe just do your best to make sure there's some Good Food around for you. I'd second stocking up on comforting ones like bone broth or sweet potatoes too.

vypen Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thank you so much for all your kind words and tips! Sweet potatoes have been helpful. I'll try making my own bone broth too. I have 3 days left on the program so I'm almost there. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
