These dietbet sessions I have been in the last 3 weeks have definitely been very difficult mentally. Though I am currently the lowest weight in over a year (probably more than that) I have little interest in counting calories or truly in the weight loss mentality. Most days I don't wake up saying "today I will do my best to lose weight" I definetly have my wins such as fitting into all my old clothing and feeling comfortable in sleeveless shirts. I also started to train for a half marathon (hopefully making that into a marathon come the end of the summer). I am currently transitioning into a whole food more plant based diet. As I am a wildlife researcher, the ethics to consuming meat never really set well with me to begin with. Recently I started to learn about where most of food comes from and more imporantly what is going into our food. With this knowledge, I have no desire to consume processed foods or animal based foods. In fact, the more I am learning the more repulished I am. My stomach has not been in a good state the last few days and I am not sure if it is due to not consuming processed foods, animal products, or I am mentally making my stomach hurt with the idea of what I am putting in my body. I am almost to my dietbet goals and I currently still have 11 days left. I think I can make it and hope that my body transitions better to these diet changes.

Sign in to CommentWell done, despite not feeling like you're totally behind yourself mentally! The body will be detoxing, that'll explain why your stomach is feeling off. I went through a detox period when I cut out processed, sugars, dairy and wheat products. My symptoms were mainly with headaches etc though. Keep on keeping on!
