Dang, I really snacked a lot yesterday. Wish they had a version of Antabuse for sugar addiction and compulsive eating, LOL. I probably wouldn't be compliant with it though. I hate the fact that eating food -- or not eating it but wanting to eat it and knowing I shouldn't eat it -- has become such an issue for me. I remember when I was in my teens and early 20s and could eat anything, in any amount, and not gain weight. Now I've become so sensitive to the effect certain foods have on me that I can feel a sugar high and crash even as I consume something sugary. Potatoes and gluten and sugar, in decreasing order, all exacerbate the pain level in my body, and although my adherence to this experiment has only been about 50%, I can definitely feel a difference in improved pain level. Remember, I was experimenting (loosely) with elimination sugar and flour for a couple of years before I made this particular commitment, and although I wanted to feel a difference right away, it took some time of sticking with it more or less. Lord forbid I should really take care of myself and cut them out of my life like a surgeon cuts out cancer! But there was a time I couldn't even imagine life without sugar, so I'm going to give myself props for getting this far :-)

I need to boost myself a little, though, because the lack of response to my contest (come on; who doesn't want free stuff) has got me down a bit, so I'm going to create a new page to this blog that has gluten-free recipes on it. I haven't been baking lately, but the recipes I post here will be tried and true. I would welcome yours as well. fell free to email them to me at the link on the blog page. First up, muffins sweetened with fruit only.

Have a good night!
