10 days down!!!

I can not believe that it has been 10 days of this diet!!! I have an easy way for any of you that want/need to loose weight ---- find out you are allergic to wheat and dairy, then try to find something that will feed your junk food cravings without any wheat or dairy in it!! You are bound to starve yourself skinny. That is what I feel like I am doing.

10 things I have learned in the last 10 days..........

1. Even when you tell yourself day in and day out that you are in this to feel better and to live a longer more active life, it still does not make this journey to health any easier!

2. What really stinks is that most munchies have either wheat, dairy, soy or eggs in it!!!

3. Try going to the mall and find some lunch that fits with-in my diet. Thai food!!! I am in love with this place in the Vancouver mall, as I walked by there was a guy handing out samples, I started to tune him out thinking that I don't need that temptation till I heard him say "try this, it is wheat free" I was like, "what did you just say?" He said in broke English, "this is wheat free" I was like, "can I have it all!!" I was so happy!!

4. Even shopping at health food stores, it can still be pretty depressing finding food that I can eat!

5. Mexican food rocks!!! I met an old friend for lunch on Monday, I did great, no wheat or dairy. But I did fudge on having tortilla chips (not suppose to have corn) had salsa (not suppose to have raw veggies right now) and I splurged big time with a root beer!! It tasted so good!! That was my 1 week mark on my diet, so I got to have a little treat!

6. For the first time in 10 days, everyone in my family ate the same thing for dinner. Yes, I said it right, but we did have something a little different. I got some organic spaghetti sauce (no wheat fillers in it) and the family had spaghetti with regular noodles, and I had spaghetti with rice noodles. So rice noodles are not the same, but they are growing on me. OK maybe not, but I ate them.

7. So gluten free pizza is not the greatest, but leftovers are even worse. Could not even swallow it on day 3!!! YUCKY!!! I am going to have to wait a while to try that one again.

8. So in the last 10 days, I do have to say my favorites are still what they were before starting this journey to health. I may have altered them a little, but not too much. My steak and baked potato, although no bacon bits on the potato and I am able to stomach the rice cheese and the dairy free butter.

9. For the record, dairy free chocolate chips are pretty good!! They still fulfil that chocolate craving and make me not want to harm anyone!! just kidding!

10. I found some snickerdoodles that ROCK!!!! I am not sure how they can be egg, dairy, wheat, and soy free but they are and they are GREAT!!!

**So I think I am going to make it**
