WHOLE 30 PLANS

WHOLE 30 PLANS: 

no sugar, no soy, dairy, lentils and legumes, alcohol, grains, carrageenan or sulfites. 

IF/THEN STATEMENTS:

+ If we're going out with friends to a restaurant, then I will carefully review the menu options beforehand and pick the wisest option, substituting things as needed. 

+ If I know there will be snacks at work/given to me, I will decline and choose my prepared snacks instead. 

RANDOM NOTES:

Friends, I feel like I'm trying all the things, but I'm always needing a change so here's to trying again and again and again. Starting whole 30 as of today and I'm pumped and nervous all at the same time mainly because I really want to succeed and I don't want to walk through times of failing. Haha! I'm reminding myself that this is only 30 days - short term actually! And that it's truly not hard. All my life, I've only talked down about my body, but never really appreciated it for what it's capable of. 

I know I sound like a broken record, but I'm always trying to find new things that work for me. Literally putting all of these things out here so y'all can help keep me in check as well! This is new, fun, and exciting. 

REMINDERS FOR MYSELF:

1. I don't have to eat something just because someone wants me to. 

2. There will always be food. The cake will come again. Meals can be re-made. I'm not missing out on anything.

3. Just because I "can't" have something within the 30 days doesn't mean that I can't have it ever.

4. There's power in words. Instead of "I can't have that now" -- I can use "I'm choosing not to have that now." 

5. Comparing myself to others or to what I "used" to look like doesn't do anything for me!
