I've always had really bad hypoglycemia, and for the past few weeks (when i've been eating right) I felt fine, so i'm wondering now if this whole time i've been allergic to something! I guess i'm making a food allergist appointment tomorrow.
I already know that i shouldn't eat dairy, but i never eat that anyway, except for super special occasions. (on my last trip to maine i decided it would be a really great idea to sample every ice cream place we went by, and at the end of the weekend I was doubled over chugging pepto bismol :/ The ice cream was really good though!!)

Had a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have had, both Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Still having bloating, pulling sensation in lower abdomen, and really uncomfortable sex today. Going to try REALLY hard to be good until May when I go home for my sister's graduation.

Eh hem, count me in as one that's fallen off the wagon CONSIDERABLY in the past few weeks. Thanksgiving was the start of it all. Cheese, cake, fast food, bread, cookies, chocolates, ugh, I haven't turned much down. Good news is that I get very little pelvic pain as a result, which is partly why it's so easy to just shove it all in my mouth. Bad news is that I still get bloated as all hell and put on about 10 pounds in a month. Digestive enzymes have helped with the immediate tummy bloat, but the overall water weight gain is ridiculous.
After Christmas, I'm doing a cleanse again. I need to reset my palette and drop some of this weight. I'm usually so dedicated to the diet and have no problem saying no, but my appetite has been through the roof and I've been so swamped with work that I haven't had much time to plan and cook meals. I'm really hating myself at the moment. Could someone please slap me around, knock some sense into me?

Yes - but not for the reasons you think you need! Chill out! So you've fallen off the wagon, enjoyed a few forbidden foods and you;'re paying for it. Don't beat yourself up on top of that! You have a plan, and we all know you'll get back on track. You inspire lots of us with your dedication so ease off on yourself!

Yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying. And I appreciate it. But I don't think my wardrobe cares to listen to your reasoning at the moment!

I cheated on the endo diet and now I feel like crap. I was in Minneapolis the past few days for work and drive thru my alma mater on the way back home. Soo... I stopped at my favorite sandwich joint. Seriously, the BEST sandwiches in the world. My old college friends and I still talk about that place. Bread made fresh daily, warmed up just enough to melt the cheese, a perfectly blended mix of vinegar/oil/seasonings on top... Mmm - delish! But, the rest of the ride home, I had to deal with brain fog and being sleepy and bloated. Normally, I'd say it's not worth it to cheat on the endo diet. But today, it kinda was.

Gluten, gluten and more gluten, yuck. Just thinking of real bread makes my stomach churn. I don't even tempt myself going into places like that, not worth the hassle afterwards.

I usually feel that way, too. But this time - totally worth it and I seem to have rebounded quite quickly. This place is legendary and has soooo many good memories for me. I can give up just about everything in the world, but this cafe is my weak spot!

Sometimes I just feel like treating myself. Sometimes it's worth it. Sometimes it's not. I have a sandwich place right by my house that sounds like you cafe Karen. I miss sandwiches like that so much.

The place is 3 hours away so its not like I'm tempted often. I've been there twice in 5 years! If it were near my house, that would be really hard!

I'm glad you enjoyed it - I'm too scared to stray and do a cheat - afraid of my stomach revolting so the fear keeps me eating good. I had to go with a group to panera afew weeks ago and that was awful because their menu is very unfriendly and they literally have a huge binder at the cash register to flip thru to look at nutrition info, I was so irritated after 3 pages I just got a smoothie. Looking at those pastries literally was torture - they looked and smelled SO freaking good.
