When you think you're doing so well, and something happens and you realize you've made a mistake and you've been making this mistake for a while, not letting that get you down is so hard. Well this week I have been drinking sparkling water with fruit flavor and fruit slices. Well I should have been looking more closely because some times I just look for sugar or soy or carrageenan so I just look for those ingredients and don't really read. Well of course the second ingredient is aspartame which of course is an articifial sweetener and is a no-no. On top of that, I normally get an almond milk latte and in my first Whole30 I asked is there almond milk sweetened and they said no. When looking at the milk container I recognized the milk container and I knew it had sugar and carrageenan and I was so disappointed. Plus, I eat too many Larabars so yeah... but I am trying to fix this and not fall back and not to feel discouraged. But I think it's important to remember, while the official Whole30 people will disagree, perfection is not the goal, trying to be the best you can be is the point. Don't be mad at yourself if you make a mistake but be happy that you're trying with all you got. Don't be mad if you feel like your all isn't good enough. Just give your all regardless of the outcome because you know your strength. This is hard. Don't pretend it isn't. You are doing a hard thing. It's hard to deviate from the status quo of what is considered okay to put in your body particularly when unhealthy food is everywhere. But don't cheat yourself on an amazing experience. You deserve to learn to fight for what you what. I believe in you.
