GOING GLUTEN FREE

So the pain has gotten so intense throughout my body, that I have decided to go gluten free.  This has been a very hard decision simply because I do not know if I can do this.  I am praying for grace.  My joints hurt all of the time, and my fibromyalgia is out of control.  My gut issues are far worse than they have ever been in my life, and it is time, to try and heal!

I know that I need to lose a ton of weight and, I am hopeful with the lifestyle changes, that will happen as well.  I am not aiming for just that, I want to feel better, I need to not cry just trying to move about my day!  My breathing is also suffering from the diet and lack of activity due to the viscous cycle of it all!

Today, I found a great motivator on YouTube and I will be seeking out others.  Nichole embraced me, when I discussed all of this with her yesterday.  We spent the whole day together talking and she cooked a Hello Fresh meal for me, and we just bonded.  It was so nice.  She agrees that I have a Gluten allergy and she believes it will help with everything I am experiencing physically.

So I have to do some purging in my kitchen and adding in some healthy gluten free snacks.  I am going to go easy with those and try and stick to vegetables and fruits and see where that takes me though!  I believe through clean eating, my whole body will benefit from it.

I am so tired of being tired, and in pain.  It has depressed me so much, and I am turning 59 in 19 days and time is a wasting.  I am two days without soda and have already begun to experience the caffeine withdrawal headaches.  Purging sugar as well, as much as I can.  I will gradually add that back in a little at a time.  drinking water and that is so much better for me, I just keep reminding myself!  You can do this, you have done restrictive eating before.  Seven years I lived, with a lap band.  I was restricted to drastically reduced food intake as well as kinds of foods I did really well, a lot of what I am feeling went away back then.  I know this is processed food addiction and fast food dietary sabotage that has taken place in my life.  It is time to take back the plate!

I am anxious to feel better!

I know this will not be easy the next month, but I am going to fight like hell, so restore my health!

Thanks for listening,
