Well I did it

I ate a completely non-compliant lunch after 21 days.

And now I of course feel terrible! Instant bloat and stomach gurgling sounds. I can't break up with Mexican food forever (lunch involved tortillas, sour cream, beans and a tiny bit of rice). But now I know not to eat all the things again!

I am kind of concerned about this happening to me on Tuesday. My mom is having an Origami Owl party, and I don't know that anything will be compliant.

Hope you feel better!

Thanks I feel better and more determined to stay on plan. Good luck at your party! Maybe bring a few nuts just in case, or eat beforehand?

So question, do you start all over or continue counting your days as normal? I think I read online that you need to re-set but that sounds crazy to me?!?!?!?!

Technically I think I should reset per whole 30 guidelines, but that isn't going to happen I am doing this I help me eat better and less sugar, carbs, and dairy, not to detect serious sensitivities (although it has reminded me that my body doesn't like dairy). If I had to restart I would fall way way off the bandwagon.

I agree with you. I am doing it for the same reasons

I also don't know that I will do a total restart if I go off-plan. The people on the actual Whole30 board are SO strict about this, but the thought of doing that is killer!
