The Diet Diaries: Entry #5

So my diet is almost over. And I feel great! I have lost some weight, my immune system is back up and running, and I am finally able to digest food properly. Because of this great triumph, I have let myself slip a little bit on the diet. Which I know I shouldnt do, but I couldnt help it! I miss sanwhiches and cheese and butter and chocolate! (Note: I only had these things ONCE and in very small amounts).
I think the hardest thing about this diet was the wheat aspect. In my daily life I avoid dairy because my stomach does not like milk very much. But wheat is in practically everything that I eat! I never realized how much toast and sandwhiches and pasta I ate before I couldnt have it anymore! I would open my cuppord and my roommates English muffins would be begging me to eat them! I love english muffins, but I was able to say no and keep strict to the diet. The one time I ate bread was because for lunch I had a lot of fruit and sometimes my stomach gets upset with just fruit in it. So to counteract that, I got a slice of dry toast to go with it. I only ate half of it and it kept my stomach at bay.
I am hoping once I am released from the rules of this diet, I will not be so tempted to eat cookies instead of bell peppers. I want to be a healthy person and I want to be at a healthy weight and feel like the best I can feel. Right now I dont. I do not have a lot of extra fat. I do not have enough fat that my health is in the slightest affected, but I have enough that I sometimes do not feel good about myself. I know I can get to a weight that I love my eating healthy and exercising. I hope you will join me. This blog is not for me, its for my readers. (Going back to my High School Musical reference...) we are all in this together! So lets keep it that way.

Until next time
