I Am So Glad I Started The Whole30 And I May Just Continue For Longer Because It Has Brought Out So Many

I am so glad I started the Whole30 and I may just continue for longer because it has brought out so many issues in my relationship with food. I straight up have been kidding myself, I though I was good and didn’t have any unhealthy tendicies and food wasn’t a big deal in my life but the whole30 has shown me exactly how my mind is tied to food in so many things. Not only that, but I’ve actually started to see physical results from my last 8 weeks of working out and my body is thriving in so many ways! Without the Whole30 I would probably be crash dieting to cover up deeper issues and defeated that nothing is actually happening.

My grandfather doesn’t use the word “calories” when talking about food…he uses the word “value” instead. I was eating fruit for lunch and he said “if you’re going for a run later you need something more valuable”. I sat there for a while just thinking about the way he said that. Change out a negative word with a positive one and you’ll see start seeing positive change.

Exercise is a celebration of what your body can do. Not a punishment for what you ate.
