I gave up dairy, red meat, sugar, any processed foods, wheat and carb rich food, corn, fruit. I ate lots and lots of rice and veggies. I started the diet after leaving the bakerywhen I discovered I was allergic to flour and my asthma was going away. I went to a specialistwho had me trying to control my allergies by eliminating all foods known to contribute to allergies, then when I saw how much weight I had lost I kinda liked it. I stopped seeing the woman and I wouldn't eat anything with butter, margarine, anything fried, any gravy, or dressing. I refused to eat iceberg lettuce because it had no nutritional value. I took lots of vitamins so I would stay healthy, but when I needed to gain weight I lost control of it. I fantasize about frosting, and cheese. I sneak around and eat foods my freinds and family would be shocked to see me eating when noone is around because I can feel better when I eat. I just got married and I love my husband dearly and I feel like I should be happy all the time but my dad, my gram, my mom in law and gram in law have all been in and out of the hospital, my gram may never recover, my husband has been converted to part time because of budget cuts and the only time I forget about the whole mess is when I binge. I was seeing a counselor because I thought it was depression and told me I could get my life and my feelings under control if I were to get my weight under control. When I was in high school I would run when I was feeling fat, sometimes for hours and hours. I have never made myself throw up and when I cut back on my food intake I always take vitamins to supplement any nutrition I may be missing. I tried to ask my dr a few years ago if the way I ate was a disorder and he said it didn't fall into any of the classic categories and that I, like most people, was learning to balance the goog with the bad. I used to wish that I had the courage to make myself throw up so that I could stay thin. I have also tried tasting food I want and spitting it out to avoid the calories.
