Lisalove Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I am on day 14! I'm was doing well with the food and have cheated once with a beer. But today I failed, my family took me out for Mexican for Mothers day. I could have ordered a nice salad with some fajita beef or shrimp but did I? Sadly no. I ordered Enchiladas Rancharos. I ate Cheese filled Enchiladas covered in pork, peppers and onions. I started feeling sick and stopped eating half way through. Now I feel so Yucky. I body is so unhappy to have to deal with cheese and corn tortillas. I can't wait to go to bed and start tomorrow fresh. I'm posting this as a reminder of how yucky I feel..

Johnny M Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 There's a bittersweet sadness when you have that realization but at least you know how they make your body feel now. What's important is that you make note, learn, and just start again! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamra Wysocki-Niimi Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I like that you posted this as a reminder for yourself! Sometimes it's hard to remember the yuckiness when something yummy like cheese comes along... but the great thing is that tomorrow is a new day and now you are even wiser!

Jeanye Mercer Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Lisa, What if you reframed your experience from "cheat and punishment" (lots of self judgment attached) to simply experiment and feedback? I love this quote from Christiane Northrup's book "Women's Bodies Women's Wisdom: "When we realign with our inner guidance and stop judging our bodies and our feelings as bad when they are offering us information, we are on the path to a life filled with growth and delight." One of the gifts that the Whole30 and clean eating continues to give us is the opportunity to heal our relationship with food - and with ourselves. I still struggle from time to time with my desire to be thinner or leaner or stronger or fill-in-the-blank-er. I think most women do. We also feel the need to strive for perfection. Learning to let go of some of that can be freeing and help us feel lighter in lots of other important ways. Best wishes for your continued experimentation!

Johnny M Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have a friend doing whole30 who won't use the word cheat. I think she calls it a "party"...cuz once in a while you have to let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
