    Can I join in everyone?

    I just started my first Whole 30 yesterday. Today has been rough. Rougher than I expected. The food has been great, and I feel satisfied, so why did I snap on my husband? The headache and the meltdown (yelling, slamming a door and bawling my eyes out) are totally out of character for me. What's going on? I can only assume that it's the diet.

    Day 4 here. The food part has been fine but yeah, I'm apparently a text book case of day 4 -5 participant - Kill All Things! LOL....definitely not my pleasant self. But according to the site, this will pass. :bigsmile:

    I need to kick myself into gear again. I did the Whol30 in January and did pretty well, but as soon as February came I immediately reintroduced dairy. I'm going to start again in March.

    Day 5 of my second whole 30 :) Things are easier this time, knowing what to buy and lots of great recipes. Always welcome friends who understand the joys and challenges of eating paleo.

    I'm on day 9. So far so good. I am actually loving the food. It just feels right to me. I'm not missing anything. I was tracking my foods in my diary, but have decided to give that up. It's not recommended, so I'm trying to release that. It's quite liberating. I haven't yet been able to completely let go of the scale, but I definitely care less about what I see there, so that's improvement.

    I've managed to keep the scale in the closet...that is as hard as anything.

    I still log my food, even though we're not supposed to. I did reset all of daily food goals - added about 500 calories but I'm not really concerned about going over, and I set my numbers to 40 - 40 -20 so I can use as a guide. It's been going ok. Not hungry, starting to feel my energy get back to normal.

    My biggest challenges is just the food around the house - V Day candy, kids cookies, crackers - stuff that I may have had 1 and now can't touch. Not too bad though.

    And I am still weighing myself but not tracking food. I screwed up big time on Valentines night and had to re start on the 15 all over again!
