The trouble
with going ‘gluten free’ is you have to watch yourself. I thought it would be a
simple change – but it wasn’t. I think there must be some addictive properties
to gluten because I noticed after a couple days that I was craving carbs – and
I don’t usually crave them (probably because I ate them regularly). At any
rate, I have to make sure that all carbohydrates in my home are gluten free –
this way I don’t grab anything that has gluten – like the crackers I ate
yesterday. I feel very confident that I’ll be able to become totally gluten
free within 2-3 weeks. It will just take some practice, discipline, getting
use-to and replenishment of resources.
That’s all! It’s just a matter of time. My goal is to be able to say that I am
living a gluten free life by end of February. And in order to make that
declaration – I will have to be gluten free for about two weeks. I think
psychologically speaking 2 weeks is the cementing of a habit. So that’s where
I’m headed. It’s such an exciting year already and we’re only on day 19!.
