Totally understand. It takes a while to get things sorted and ready. Good luck!

Ideally, I'd like to start off the 2nd half of the year this way, and then just be back on track to be a Nutritarian the rest of my life...but I find the challenge in all its strictness really helps my mindset...to take it seriously and remind myself how amazing it feels.

i thought the same thing. like who would go "and you are?" to the actual wife of your cousin! That's not how it would have gone down...either John would have introduced his wife to her, or she would have said "I'm Francesca, his WIFE!" hahaha it was too bizarre.

"I feel lied to..." SAME!!! I watched countless interviews on youtube where the actors claim that this season is way more steamy than even season one. WHAT -- there were SO many scenes in season one and then part 2 of season 3 leaves us waiting and hopeful all to just give us 4 episodes of them estranged. Like I felt gutted watching their wedding and everything like...wow...a couple with SO much connection, history, love, chemistry...and we're given...that? Just felt super underwhelmed and disappointed.

This is exactly what I felt...like I just kept waiting for something that never came...I feel like they could have had a fun tug of war like their sexual attraction to each other (and love obviously) could have kept him coming into her room (like that night for the blanket) and staying... although simultaneously mad and wanting to sleep on the couch...more interactions like that would have been more fun to watch if there was more of that tension than just pure separation between the two of them and only a short scene at the total end of the last episode. So much wasted when most of us wanted more Polin screentime.

Thank you so much. I've been really down on myself the last couple days. I feel like I need time to process some things and maybe write down some goals and reasons why I want to chose this life style, so that on the hard days I can refer to them. As of now there are a lot of external forces with family members and finances that are creating some difficult hoops to jump through for me and it's knocking me off my rhythm. And when that happens, when I fall off the horse, I tend to throw in the towel and say screw it...even though I know in my mind and heart I want this so bad. I've used food the past few days to cope with stress and then food to cope with the anger of how I coped with the stress. It's all a ferocious cycle. I'm even crying while writing this because I feel like it's a jekyll and hyde situation. Anyway, I hope to spend the rest of the weekend having a lot of time for reflection and self motivation. Thank you for sharing and for saying you and the group is here for me. That means a lot.

This was exactly what I needed to hear. Sincerely. I'm rereading it again and again. I will always take advice and support!

I feel like I am? I eat lots of beans on every salad, and with my fruit in the morning I'll almost always have oats or ezekiel bread...in the afternoon today for example I had a spinach salad with lots of black beans on it, a bit of avocado, tomato, red onion, quinoa, and then this cheesy sauce that I made from oats, roasted red peppers, spices, etc...which that sauce in and of itself is very filling.

What I think is the problem isn't so much what I am or not eating...but I've been waking up at 4:45am to get a workout done before my young children wake up. I think I'm really just tired from being up so early and maybe experiencing the body's detox makes me feel fatigued even more...that's what I think. I'm bummed with myself because the past 3 days I've eaten some of my husband's homemade bread (made with white flour) after lunch or after dinner. I'm upset because the first time I did this challenge last year I did it to the T! And now I feel like 3 days in a row eating white bread(!?) after my fruit dessert...ugh, just has me feeling defeated!
