Yesterday I told you about my food fears as I begin to navigate better eating habits to support my ailing thyroid. After a 43 day round of the Whole 30, this week I will begin to loosen some rules for when dining out is necessary.
Yesterday went fine. I ate a great whole foods breakfast and dinner. We had a busy day at work and the bank bought lunch so we wouldn’t have to break from our project for too long. I could have chosen a salad but decided to give myself something I used to love from this restaurant – a grilled cheese on gluten free bread, some sea salt kettle chips and fruit.
The fruit was delicious.
The rest of it was ok but I would have been happy with the salad. Plus, I was tired within the hour. So I came home to a delicious vegetarian dinner and felt good again.
Lesson learned. Honestly, I was a little relieved when my reaction was “meh.” At least I won’t be craving that stuff.
It’s another new day and so the experiment continues!
I’m pleased for you that you’ve found out how to eat to feel good, and that reintroducing those former foods didn’t jazz you. Feeling deprived is so hard!
It is hard and I am relieved to know that nothing I’ve had this week that I thought would be great really tasted good at all.
