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...
