discouraged
Wednesday, February 7th 2007
I'm feeling discouraged-maybe a little depressed. I ate major junk food yesterday and miraculously and by being very careful was still under my target. So I was ready today to have a great day, and then we got a package in the mail today. It was gluten-free food that I ordered from a bakery. I came with 2 loaves of white bread, cinnamon raisin bread, and these giant cookies. Well, I made myself a ham sandwich-the first that I've had in a very long time. And then I took a bite of the chocol...stupid, stupid

I made 2 stupid choices so far today-not that I'm going to beat myself up about them. But I'm going to vent about it and then forgive myself. The first was when I was grocery shopping and they were giving out samples of Bush's chili. I had some and didn't even think about whether or not it had gluten until I went to buy it and checked the label. Sure, enough. Wheat starch. It was only about an eighth of a cup, but my stomach is gurgling and getting bloated. I'll be more careful next time....A new scale

And I shouldn't have. I'm doing everything right and the scale says I've gained 6 pounds in only 5 days. I'm so discouraged I just want to bury myself in a huge gallon of icecream. But I won't. Today wasn't so great either though. I was careful during the day. When we went to the car show, I brought a protein bar and an orange, and then had some kettle corn that we bought. But then we were at my in-laws tonight and I was so hungry. Being on the gluten-free diet, I could only eat a limite...Gluten Free Oats!!!

I ordered gluten-free oats on the internet and my order came yesterday. So this morning I had oatmeal for breakfast. It was so wonderful. I love oatmeal and tastes even better than I remember. I just made it too sweet by adding too much brown sugar. I haven't had oatmeal since this summer, which I know isn't nearly as long as many celiacs who have gone for years without them.So tonight I made oatmeal cookies. The problem is the best part of making oatmeal cookies for me is the dough. ...
