It's been a month

One month down, the rest of my life to go! :)

I'm all ready doing better with the gluten-free diet. It is getting easier. I was asked at my meeting on Tuesday how I'm doing since I'm only a month in. They were all pretty surprised that I'm doing as well as I am. They all talked about how it's the hardest thing they've all ever had to do. I agree, but I think I just accepted it a little quicker than they all did.

At home, it's fairly easy, as long as I plan. There's no more, "hey Russ, will you pick up pizza on the way home?". I HAVE to know what I'm fixing every day. Lunch is hard. It can get monotonous. But by far, the hardest is eating out. There are lots of places I will never be able to eat at again- Cane's being one of them. Oh how I loved Canes. :(

But even at the movies last night. We got balcony tickets and I hadn't eaten dinner yet, so I thought I might get something there. Nope. Unless I wanted a salad. No thanks. I'll stick with the popcorn. This is just something I'll have to deal with. It's ok. It's good for me. Too bad I found all of the gluten-free goodies (brownies, cookies, etc.) or I probably would have lost at least 5 pounds by now!! grrr. I only have myself to blame.

Anyway, this next month, I'm hoping to really start feeling better. My stomach definitely feels better, but I'm ready for all of the other junk to get better. Headaches, fatigue, irritability, and so on. That can all just go away!!
