6 Days into the year and I find myself loving the freedom of unresolutions! No guilt! I celebrate and acknowledge the positive steps. The first few days have really been about making better health choices and making them stick.
So far I have been 100% Gluten Free. As a sufferer of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, I have known for years that I would feel better if I went completely gluten free. I am fortunate enough to not have the serious reactions of a Celiac sufferer, but I itch, have an upset stomach, feel brain fuzzy, lack energy and hold onto excess weight. So, one would think that those would be sufficient to convince me to forego the flour. But, ohhhhhhhh, I do love bread -- good crusty bread, chewy pizza dough, crisp crackers, thick soups, fried crab cheese wontons and Indian Naan. I allowed myself these indulgences in spite of knowing the consequences. Finally, this Christmas, I decided that it wasn't worth the consequences.
So far, six days without a wheat-based single cookie, cracker, crouton, wheat-enhanced or gluten-backed bit of food. I feel more energy. I am not so exhausted. Not a single upset stomach in a week. This is better than a resolution to lose weight. This is a resolution to gain life.
