At some point in my super serious college relationship, my boyfriend and his buddies had a weight loss contest. Most weight lost in a month won A NEW CAR!! Or it might have been a hundred bucks. Hell, it could have been a new yoyo- this is not the point of my story. Tom* had the most weight to lose of the fellas in the contest and he could also be fairly...  hard headed and stubborn. So, suddenly we were both on a diet. I remember he started carrying a gallon jug of water around and would drink 23 a day! (Full disclosure: I made that up.) We worked at a restaurant that had served mainly turkey- it was Thanksgiving all the time! I wore a bonnet- more Laura Ingalls than Pilgrim but still, a bonnet. (More disclosure: Sadly, I did not make that up.) 

Anyway, there was a lot of turkey breast eaten that month, hold the gravy. Tom was a big believer in “what I do, you do”-  he was fairly... controlling that way. In this instance, it was a good thing. We both lost weight. We both went to the gym. We both drank a lot of water. And he WON!! Suck on that, other line cooks!! 

Here’s what I remember most- the DAY we- I mean HE- was done, we raced to our favorite (now long gone) restaurant, Carmellas. It was a small Italian restaurant, felt chain-y but I actually don’t think it was. And we ordered EVERYthing we hadn’t eaten in a month- fried ravioli, white garlic pizza strips, PASTA. I vividly recall the drool. But here’s the twist!! It was all gross!! The food we had been eating in our pre-diet life, had been loving A LOT, that I bitched about missing out on for the full 30 days was GROSS. The oil. The salt. The oil! NAST. 

Double twist- obvs, I got over it. It didn’t take long before Tom and I were back to eating as we always had. And not since I was a part of that great diet experiment, have I made such a radical 30 day diet change. Well, until now. I still got 6 days of no sugar, dairy, grain. booze, processed food... OMG! Just pass the turkey breast! but I am already dreaming of my end game. It may not include fried ravioli- right now, I just want a cocktail and a cupcake but I am dreaming. And planning. And ready!! 

And wondering if I should do things differently this time? I am not 20 anymore. I don’t go to work in a bonnet. (Though I still have it and oft wear it around the house because why wouldn’t I?) I should know better and want better. And yet- it’s amazing how I am already looking to “soothe” this experience with food. I am not sure that the Whole30 has “changed my life in 30 days” the way it promised (yet!) but maybe that isn’t the Whole30′s fault?? Maybe I am holding on to old habits longer than I need to? Than I should? I am putting the HOL in wHOLe30? And all this HOLding is making me think I may be holding on like an assHOLe?
