Kada Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I am so upset- I am on day 8 of my Whole30- I have been doing really well, but it has been HARD! Tonight, I am making dinner for me and my family (chicken and vegetable stir fry)- I made a pot of sushi rice for the rest of the family and I didn't even think- I took the end of a fork and scooped like 5 grains of rice and ate it to see if it was done- I could cry-I tried to spit it out (I even briefly for an insane moment thought about vomiting). I think I know the answer- does this mean I have to start over?!?- does 5 grains of rice nullify 8 days of planning, cooking and being grumpy, tired, and suffering headaches? I am so upset, just looking for advice, encouragement, and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howellymatrimony Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Honestly, I'm not an expert by any means, but I think you're fine. You didn't do it on purpose, and it wasn't a full bite. I would just carry on. It's not like you inhaled a couple brownies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjohnson527 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 For what it's worth, I did almost the exact same thing last night. I ate a small noodle when cooking pasta for my kids. My husband and I were eating the same meal but used zucchini noodles for ours. I didn't even think about it until I was sitting at the table and it just hit me! I ate a noodle to make sure it was done! Darnit!! I've read the "should I start over" and made the decision for myself not to. I WILL be more cautious when cooking (my husband does most of the cooking, so it's not a habit for me yet) and I don't think my journey with whole30 will end at 30 days anyway. So I will continue to take what I've learned and may go past 30 days as it is. But I don't feel like I "Failed" or made a bad choice and for my own sanity, decided I don't need to hit the start over button. Now, if I was sneaking a bite of my kid's food because I really wanted it (which I seriously was tempted to do while making them mac & cheese for lunch), then I would treat that differently. I wasn't giving into anything and slipping up and falling into a noodle. It was just habit and not intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
