Limiting to removal

[astrophe]

I'm in the same boat right now.

I cannot limit once I'm on the crazy train. I do not know how. I may even have allergy connected to it too.

To me it is easier to resist it once at the store, and not have to resist it a million times at home. That's the first line of defense. So goodbye wheat! The only bread I have here is a type I don't like but is fine for kid and DH who don't seem to have the congestion I do.

I'm trying to sort out an allergist dx but til then I rather just live without bread.

Next is opening to other things. Brown rice I'm ok with congestion wise, and I've embraced the land of salad because my usual sandwich for lunch solution has GOT to change.

I use Fitday PC to track and I'm a lot calmer without the wheat. I also cut back on sugar, whole fruit no fruit juice -- anything that would make my blood sugar spike because I know if I spike, I'm going to start looking for a load of bread or cookies or something. And once I'm on that crazy train and I have a hard time stepping off.

I'm not quite at the 150 g crabs I want to be at but even at 170 ish I notice a difference. Before I was at 200+ and it was giving me cravings and I don't know what all.

Dig down deep to see if there's something like a blood sugar (or some other health reason) that is keeping you hooked.

I was amazed the other day that I felt full and ok and could put food BACK as leftovers. Or that I was around bread and I could take it or leave it. But I had to work through a period of "Aaaah! Keep the bread AWAY from me" first and watch what would trigger.

GL!
