Cleaning up my diet really has some down sides.

[Susie]

I wouldn't say I've been eating clean, but certainly cleanER the last month or two, and I've watched everything I eat very carefully.  I've lost almost half of the 10 lbs I was hoping for, so that's a yay.  But man, it doesn't come free!

Today Calvin came over to my office because we put the USA/Canada hockey game on in the conference room (where we have a TV of embarrassing proportions).  He stopped at Dunkin Donuts on the way and brought donuts for my office to share.  I had one freaking glazed donut.  It's a guilty pleasure.  And now I feel all gassy and bloated.  I have absolutely lost my tolerance for food that's bad for me.  I felt the same way last week when I had birthday cake at my parents' house.  I ran, I ate well… I just had cake and it did not agree with me.  Which is a bummer, because I still really enjoy it for an occasional splurge!

I was good with mostly giving it up while losing the weight, and even with eating less of it permanently.  But I didn't want to have to completely, permanently give it up!

Aww man that stinks, but at least you are down 5 lbs do far. I need to clean things up too, but this post doesn't make me want to. I like my sweets ?

I'm having the same issue with eating clean/paleo-ish...I know that it makes me sick to have cheats, but I keep doing it and then getting mad at myself for the next day (or more) when I feel like crap...I'm hoping that I will catch on here soon!

I'm doing the whole30 right now, and this is one of my fears! I plan to stay paleoish after I am done but definitely want to have my faves on special occasions. It will definitely be a learning process as far as how far I can push it sometimes. Maybe some pepto?? Imodium? And then is it even worth it? I anticipate your struggle! Hang in there!
