One and a Half Weeks Out

[HeatherPK 3]

I am so glad I buckled down and gave the Whole 30 a shot!  I started it because I had gotten into some really bad food (and alcohol!) habits over the summer.  I gained weight and felt terrible.  After so many years of counting calories and points and rebounding over and over, I didn’t feel like I had anything to lose.  What a difference it has made!  A week and a half out I am still moving forward, with the exception of having a few beers on the weekend.  However, I am shocked that I have lost my desire for bread, pasta, sugar - all the things I thought I would never be able to kick!  I really don’t want to try reintroduction because there is nothing that I miss that much.  I lost 8.5 pounds and am back in my healthy weight range.  I can’t believe that all this happened without counting one calorie, or being hungry, and by eating SO MUCH dietary fat!!  Avocados, nuts, olive oil - even bacon!  I feel like the Whole 30 changed my life and my future.
