finkthewriter Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hello everyone! My name is Renayle Fink, and I'm a ball of emotions starting the Whole30! I'm a bit nervous, but mostly excited to get my body well and healthy. I've done other programs that eliminated sugar, and I went through the withdrawal for a couple days then felt better, but guess what? I went right back to downing snacks and sweets a week after finishing. I read "It Starts with Food" and it's such an eye-opener for me. I look forward to having a healthy relationship with food and slaying the Sugar Dragon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoniMacD Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hey, Rachel! My husband and I are starting today also. Like you, I've tried paleo, eliminating sugar, etc. and have not been successful. I am hoping to become healthier and smarter about what I put into my body.

bearandduck Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hey ladies! I started yesterday. Never done something like this before so let's see how it goes. HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyP Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi. I completed 3 months of whole 30 or nearly compliant last summer and fall but got back on sugar etc over the winter holidays. I tried to restart several times in Jan but failed miserably. Now I am miserable enough to try again. I felt wonderful when I was on whole 30 and don't know why I can't stay away from the things I know make feel bad. I know I need to evaluate emotional ties to food and learn to nourish my soul in other ways. I'll let you know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyP Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Two days down. It's not turning out as hard as I thought. I must have been ready for a change. How's everyone doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissybell Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 My husband and I also started on Monday, Feb. 13. First time Whole30 ...Heard about Whole30 on a podcast, bought the Whole30 book and after 2 weeks of reading and planning and being nervous...decided to jump in! Luckily the family seems to be on board and LOVING the delicious foods. I am worried/scared about my sugar addiction (yes, I am a sugar addict). So far, so good...I am very committed, but Day 3 and starting to have headache, stuffy head (could be a cold?). Definitely went to bed earlier and slept longer last night with no mid-afternoon pick-me-up of coffee, soda or sugar. Am going to try to use this group/forum as motivation to keep on it. Good Luck to all of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyP Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Way to go Chrisybell! I've been a little headachey too. Do give yourself a lot of room for extra rest for the first couple weeks. The energy should kick in soon after that. I have found drinking extra water to be a life saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyP Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 How's everyone doing? I slept 11 hours last night and very foggy headed this morning. Feels like a "healing crisis" where the body can finally rest from having to process sugar and other junk. I remember I had several days of it last time I did a whole 30. Had cravings today for the first time, probably not helped by eating breakfast late and only a snack In afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
