Just when you think it can't get any worse. It does. Actually,
in the long run it's going to be a good thing, but for now I'm pretty
bummed. I gave up wheat. And that has been going GREAT! It's
pretty amazing how good I feel. My stomach is not bloated anymore, and I
fell a lot better. I've had no cravings for wheat. Which is pretty
substantial to me, as I've tried lots of diets and always felt awful on
them. But today, I had to take all three of my sons to the doctor for the
little Bub's 6 month checkup. The big boys were pretty awful. I
tried to bribe them with a trip to the park and that didn't even help their
behavior. So, after I got everyone back into the car, I decided I earned
a Starbucks coffee.
I LOVE Starbucks coffee. Honestly. I dream about it. I
fantasize about having a Starbucks in my house. I drink toffee-nut
mocha's there. There really good. So, I got one today. Not a
big one, just the small size. (which they call a Tall, but whatever.) And
I drank it on the way home. Now, I'm having heart palpitations. I've been having them on and off for a couple of weeks actually. But I'm pretty sure the cause is caffeine. It feels like my heart races for a split second and then I feel dizzy. And dizzy is not a good thing when I have to carry a 6 month old around half the day.
So, long story short. I'm giving up caffeine too. And I am really going to miss it. Sad face.
Alison! I love reading about your journey! I've been on a similar journey since, well my whole life! But I've finally succeeded...75 pounds down and still working on a few more. It's hard but you will get there! Lean meats, fruits and veggies have become my best friend! :) Chobani yogurt!? Yes please! Good luck and anytime you need an accountability buddy, let me know, I'd be more than happy to help and support! :) I recently started my blog to keep myself accountable because I found myself trying to be "sneaky" with snacks and that's what's currently getting in my way! PS I miss seeing you, I've always admired you growing up!
