New to Whole30, it's day 3

[DavidJ]

Greetings,

My wife & I began this journey on Feb 1st, full of excitement.  There's definitely been some withdrawal symptoms, ie... I really am missing bread and cheese right now, and I'm a bit discouraged that I can't have my standard 5 minute oatmeal in the morning, but it's nothing I can't overcome.  I will say however, that there's only so many ways to cook an egg for breakfast, and I see that's going to get old very very fast :-( 

With all that said, I keep looking at what I expect to get out of this, and focus on the benefits rather than what I can't enjoy eating right now.  My wife on the other hand is having a harder time of this.  I'm doing my best to be an encouragement, just not sure how helpful I am... :-(

You don't have to eat eggs for breakfast every day (or any day).  Anything you eat for any other meal is suitable for the first meal of the day

Unfortunately, I'm very traditional and I just don't see myself eating lunch items for breakfast, breakfast on the other hand, is quite acceptable any hour of the day 

It's just going to take time to adjust.

Thanks
