I am beginning my Whole 30 on Monday October 6th. Its the day after my 26th birthday so it will be a healthy "restart" button for a new year of my life.
Part of the reason I have chosen to do this is because of arthritic flare ups that I am not willing to treat with medication. I also feel that it will prevent at least some symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. I am overweight and although that doesn't bother me from a body image perspective I want to be healthier and active. Luckily I am pretty much running on empty in the pantry so I won't have to clean out much to start over.
I'm nervous about slipping up but I love all of the foods that ARE allowed. I'm worried about the cost of starting the program but at the same time I know its actually very affordable. On the plus side my body is worth putting good money and good food into. I will have to really exercise self control because of Halloween but I feel that having this month of paying such close attention to what I put into my body will prepare me to be more in control of what I eat during the holidays.
