Why is it when the doctor tells you to stop smoking? You instantly need a cigarette. Or when you hear that you can't have certain foods because it will make you sick you immediately start craving that food. Rebellion! Since I have this diagnosis of Celiac Disease I have pretty much have avoided the grocery store. Well, you can only do that for so long with four kids. The cupboards get more than bare and they start to threaten to eat the table and chairs.
So, I decided to go to Whole Foods because they usually have a nice variety of speciality foods. One four foot section of gluten-free products. Which I did pick some of the things I have been wanting like; crackers, brownies, chips, and a few others.
My diet right now consists of Meat, fruit and veggies, and small amounts of dairy. The stuff I bought today are treats when I start really craving bread.
Then I headed off to Wally world to buy the rest of the groceries. Before I left that store I was so irritated because of all the easter candy that I can't eat, all the pasta that contains gluten at half the price I paid, and the aroma of fresh baked bread in the air. It really seems cruel to do that to people.
I can't wait til the farmers start putting up there stands. I will avoid supermarkets! Really there isn't that much there of good quality anyways. I just have to get my kids on the boat.
The good news is I lost 3lbs this week. I am eating plenty but not one thing goes into my body that is junk.
I have also worked out everyday this week. Except today I am resting because I managed to pull some muscles. Not at the gym either, the bed is a dangerous place!
I feel better after eating a Cocoa Loco Brownie. Thank You enjoylife foods for caring enough about the gluten free people to make good products.

    Ohh I agree vacant stick with it and those treats.... yup! when those cravings get you you gobble them up!

    I found these really great rice crackers, they are so tasty... one day I ate a whole box in one sitting mwaahahahaa

    Anyway, the bread thing, try finding a glutten free egg based bread made with sourdough yeast, in other words live yeast.... this bread naturally tastes like its french toast! fabulous stuff, and I reckon if you get your kids on the gravy train your lifes gonna be so easy!!!!  (psssttt I don't do much supermarket buying, seems twice as expensive)

    Lucy...You made me laugh! Your right my energy is coming back. I did buy a two loaves of bread to see which one I liked more. I found a small health food store after leaving the big chain stores. They had better prices. So, I do have one that is a sourdough. I usually like sourdough bread so I am a bit anxious to try it.

    Oh, and the rice crackers. Yep, I bought some to and I ate half the box! They were really good. I don't feel so crazed for bread now. Its amazing to eat a meal and not feel sick afterwards or half way through. I feel soooo much better!

    hey, welcome to the world of a diabetic! It's all goodies and I can't have any! But that is okay with me, coz I feel better and have found products that I can have, just like you did today. Have fun with your new bread and crackers...yummy!! Happy Easter!! xo, mamie

    Mamie...I know all about the world of diabetic diets. Just about everyone over 40 in my family has the disease. It can be just as restrictive and more so at times than the diet for Celiac disease. I sure hope that I don't develop it later in life.  It really is worth the payoff though. You feel so much better after eliminating the foods. Happy Easter!
