LikeTryingTo GiveACatABath Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Bless my dear daughters heart! For well over a year she has been trying to get me to try Whole30. Everytime I reacted by acting interested but not. The more time went by and the better my daughter's health improved, I listened a little but with great trepidation. Seriously child! You want me to give up what?? I couldn't even begin to imagine my home without dairy, my husband might die, his words, not mine. My husbands favorite foods in the whole world, whole milk, cheese, and bread. I tried dieting in the past without my families support, namely my husband and it was a disaster. By the way my daughter is 33, married, lives several hundred miles away and so she was not any part of the problem I speak of. My younger two thought I was starving them if I began eating healthier. At my age I have tried every diet in the book but as retirement approaches and my youngest was goes off to college, I thought maybe now is a good time. I have had one of the hardest years of my life, this year. I felt I had been burned down to the ground emotionally, mentally and physically. Then one day on Pinterest I saw a quote about a Phoenix rising. I thought I need to be the Phoenix instead of the Cat fighting getting a bath (hence my forum name). I could go on but needless to say I wouldn't be on this forum introducing myself unless I had given in, given up (my OMG thoughts), and began this journey. I began Sunday October 1st. My daughter is coaching me and doing a wonderful job. My freaky dairy driven husband is actually doing it with me as a show of support. The Phoenix is rising. Soon I will learn to fly on my own. Thanks for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishierose76 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 That sounds wonderful and good for you!!! I love you name. I've been trying to get my boss...who has tons of medical issues, to get on board...but to each their own. I will say with my husband not doing the whole 30 its been harder this time around for me. Good luck and learn to fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieWo Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Woohoo! Way to go! That's amazing that you have your husband on board, too! It does make it easier to have a partner in crime, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
