I thought I was losing inches because my clothes were fitting better. I was able to get into a pair of jeans which had gotten too small. My bra even fits better, it is not strangling me.

I still crave food with wheat in to. I have been in prayer about that. And I have tapped with EFT on issues of food addiction and cravings. I had a small nagging headache creeping up for the lat week. It is a full blown headache today. I think it might be from tapping so much... now I need to tap on this headache.

I lost .5 pounds, I am fine with that since I lost 1.75 inches off my waist, 1 inch off my hips, and 1 inch off my upper arm.

Guess what? Next week is "turkey day". We usually over eat in my house. I am planning a small dinner for my family. Most of the meals we eat on "turkey day" are food with wheat in it. I am going to do a brave thing... fix my families favorites. Chocolate cake, dinner rolls and dressing will be on the menu. I am searching for a gluten-free or maybe raw foods dessert for me.

I don't think I will have any problem not eating wheat because the last couple of weeks have been miserable for me. I feel off the wagon and ate bread, hamburgers (buns), and other products that I knew had wheat in it. I just stopped itching and scratching within the last today or two. My stomach issues have subsided. I have gone from rocket propelled bathroom sessions to waiting, waiting and waiting to visit the throne. My joints have finally stopped revolting on me for my relapse.

That which I love makes me physically sick.

Wish me luck.

God give me strength...

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

I have lost .5 pounds and a total 4 inches.

Yeah-ah-oh-ho!

Love and Peace

DRAMA

Some days you wake up in the morning and you just know it is going to be “one of those days.” You try with all that you know not to get into a back and forth with anyone, but you manage to open your mouth and BAM. You’re in the mist of a hornets nest and you’re trying to figure out how you got there?

Well I have been doing some reading, The Law of Attraction, A New Earth, a couple of books by Wayne Dryer and even Deepak Chopar. It’s funny to me because I read it and think I am having an AH-HA moment but then I can’t seem to implement any of the good advice when I should. The moment usually passes then I realize I should have, “been present,” “recognized that was the pain-body,” “picked another battle” and “recognized it’s not me who has the problem.” If I could only figure this out before I step into the hornets nest it would be good. Maybe the reason I don’t figure it out is because I have visions of toasted bread dancing in my head. You know like the old intermission at the movies, where they are trying to get you to buy something from the snack bar. That is my “crack” (wheat) addiction. My pain-body is probably pissed off too because I am not feeding this stupid “crack” addiction. Pain-body is a ego tripping Drama Queen! So the pain-body has taken over and it wants to argue, create drama, and stir up trouble, ‘cause that’s what it does. Of course I am blindsided by the smell and vision of the buttery toast dancing in my head singing “eat me, com’on you know you want some, eat me,” then BAM! What the… were did that hornets nest come from? Too late the hornets are stinging the schick-itty out of me!

Frack-a-lacking bull!

Now, not only do I have a weight loss goal, I have a no drama goal, and a kick the “crack” (wheat) addiction goal.

I keep hearing “Stay present”…

“It’s all good.”

Addicted to Wheat

OMG, I am addicted to wheat and wheat products.

I have been acting like a crack addict when it comes to wheat and wheat by products. I understand people being addicted to food much better. I have been trying to go completely off wheat and its by products and I have been miserable, angry, craving and crazy.

For the last three weeks I have been eating wheat here and there. Sneaking it like a crackhead. No offense to anyone who is a crack addict or recovering crack addict.

I have much sympathy and empathy for you.

I feel so much remorse after I eat the wheat, but while I eat it I am in heaven. I had convinced myself that I was not getting enough fiber. See after I would eat deli ham and tomatoes wrapped in lettuce, I would still be hungry one hour later. It was like eating Chinese food.

Oh I need to stop lying to you and myself, I did not need to convince myself I needed more fiber.

I am addicted to wheat and that's it!

I saw Dr. Mary Ann Block on Your Health Television with Dr. Richard Becker. She mentioned that most people who had food allergies would crave the addictive foods. Allergy causing foods
were the addictive food.

That would fit me perfectly.

I know my mother was addicted to carbohydrates. She loved cakes, pies, bread,and cookies. If it had flour and sugar in it she craved it. I am the same way. I have been craving that which has been making me ill and achy.

I am sitting here writing this post and itching like crazy because I ate wheat for several weeks. Now I am paying for it. I have also been more achy and had more allergy symptoms.

This is very hard for me. I feel sad when I think about not eating wheat.

I have to overcome this addiction because it is making me physically ill.

Maybe I need a 12 step program?

I can do this! Yes I can!

Love, Peace, and No More Wheat...

Wednesday weigh-in

169.5 Pounds

Okay, so I gained 3 pounds.

Whatever!

My DH has told me over and over that I should not weigh myself every week. I am now beginning to believe him. The up and down of the scale makes me a little obsessive. In a way it motivates me, however it makes me crazy also. So I will not be weighing in until November 19.

I thought doing yard work would be enough to at least maintain my weight from last week but it was not. Then again may be I gained muscle with all the work I was doing. I did a lot of yard work this week and last week.

weigh in @ 169.5

See ya in two... two weeks that is.

YES WE CAN!

Peace and blessings
