So I’ve been attempting the gluten free thing for a couple months now. It’s not just bread and pasta that bother me though. I guess my insides are so corroded that basically everything makes me hurt. I’ve been trying to avoid all bread, pasta, malt, alcohol, sugar, excessive salt, caffeine, acids, and anything too spicy. Which basically leaves fruits, veggies, and meat…the paleo diet.
My inexplicable dependency on food and drink has made this much more difficult than it should be but I guess there are much worse things I could be dealing with. Anyway, I thought I’d share some thoughts on how I feel about this whole thing…
When I first started reading about how to go gluten free
Trying to shop for healthy food
Trying to get over my texture issues
When I’m just gonna have one bite
What Josh does when I eat something I shouldn’t
My response to him
Everyone else when they get to eat something I shouldn’t
When I am contemplating if the starbucks skinny mocha will be worth the pain
When my friends are having margaritas
When there’s birthday cake at the office
Me pretending that I like eating paleo
