A week now...And all I have learned....

~Hi everyone!
Been a learning and growing time over this last week, I have learned A LOT, I have begun a journey to a new and healthier lifestyle of eating and when I am stronger exercise and such. That last part will take months but there are things such as toning arms and tummy I can do when I am a tad stronger. I am currently reading like 6 books on The Gluten Free lifestyle and WOW is all I have to say...Gluten in most peoople can literally poison your body as it has/did mine. Now instead of eating just say a regular sandwich I have to choose lower fat cheeses, certain breads, even certain types of mustard have Gluten! It is quite interesting, yet I also find myself in uncharted territory and feel a little scared. Scared because as my Dr said yesterday ONE BITE of bread can literally put me back to square one. I am not worried about not eating Taco Bell or places like that, no big deal there. I am more scared at ingesting Gluten without knowing and the pain I feel after is simply unspeakable. That will get better but Gluten comes in everything. I am set to meet a Nutritionist soon, and she is going to help me navigate this first few months so that I can do this right! This will also be a family change, because it is hard to cook two things and frankly it is MUCH healthier for all of us to be on the same page as a family. I will not miss feeling awful, so I am taking this journey in a positive light, and instead of thinking of all the food I will miss, I will say how much better I will be for my family! Sadly I had so many issues hit me all at once it will take awhile to heal and if anyone knows me I am impatient---ALWAYS! Haha! Today I hope to go to Whole Food's market and see a Gluten free cooking demo but I am feeling icky to put it mildly so it may have to wait but just wanted to update you all quickly. Thank you for the support and love as always..<3
