Spunky Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hey, this isn't my first Whole30 however, I am believing it will be the first time I will complete is successfully. Healthy eating isn't new to me but stress and many life changes have caused me to fall into a rut with food. Eating too much and making poor choices, I've gained quite a lot of weight and I'd like to get it all back under control. Looking forward to meeting others along the way!

SchrodingersCat Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Good luck! I'm day 1 of round 3 today, W30 literally changed my life last year, put an end to chronic migraines which caused permanent vertigo. But, as happens, I slipped further and further and ended up back where I started, vertigo and weight gain included. Remember to journal how you're feeling, it makes it so much easier to be able to go back and really appreciate the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleyellowdiary Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Good luck @Spunky. I just finished 30 days but have decided to extend to a Whole60 and really focus on trying not to snack and really listen to my hunger cues for these next 30 days. Looking forward to joining you on the journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunky Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Thanks guys, I am looking forward to all the positive changes I will see through this. Notgonnalie, I'm mostly hoping for weightloss. However, entering perimenopause, I hope for hormone balance to ease these transition years. I'm also hoping to hone in on my body's cues since hunger and fullness aren't real easy to recognize at the moment. Schrodinger'sCat wow, you noticed a huge difference with pain, that's awesome! I wish my mom would be willing to be on board with this. She deals with arthritic pain so much and has had surgery on both hands and feet as a result. The pain really isn't any better unfortunately. Littleyellowdiary that's awesome you're extending it for another full month! I can see myself doing this as well, once I'm in the groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleyellowdiary Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I sympathise on recognising hunger and fullness @Spunky. I have ASD and I am not great at reading my body's cues. Also got into lots of bad habits of eating to soothe myself when bored or alone or upset. It's all a learning curve and part of the reason I want to give myself another 30 days.

Sarah1970 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi! I started my second Whole30 on Tuesday too. After my first one two years ago, I felt so good that I had planned to do another one. Then I developed kidney stones and got scared because some of the food I had been eating causes stones. This time I am going to drink a lot more water! Maybe ask your mom to consider just dropping gluten for now. My parents stopped eating gluten after reading it can lead to dementia. I am not sure of that claim, but my dad immediately noticed the arthritis pain and swelling in his hands improved. There are a lot of gluten free options so it might not be as scary.
