"@Jim Baunach Ditto what JessFind said above. A lifetime of bad habits doesn't just disappear after 30 (or 40 days with reintroduction) - even if cravings are curbed. I would say it's a fight that I will have to the rest of my life. But 30 days of eating healthier is still a win in my book, even if I don't maintain it continuously afterwards. And there is so much more to learn doing a Whole30 - I wouldn't let other people's \"failures\" afterwards stop me from trying it.\n \n\n\n\tThe Food Freedom book is really helpful regarding what comes after - motivation ebbs and flows; you will likely cycle through phases, and one of those is coming to terms with the fact that you've slipped too far and need another reset. Two of the signals I set for myself were wanting coffee creamer daily and eating sweets daily. I got back to that point and realized it's time to do another Whole30.\n \n\n\n\t \n "
