6 Months Later

Well, I've made it 6 months without wheat and I have noticed a few things.


  1. My energy level has changed immensely.  I find it easier to get up in the morning, to motivate myself to workout, and to stay active all day long.
  2. I don't crave wheat products at all anymore.  Sure, watching people eat a sandwich or order a pizza, or bring cupcakes or brownies to a party causes a little twinge as I remember a time when I could eat them, but I'm not angry. 
  3. My headaches have decreased ten-fold. They are not gone entirely, but between eliminating wheat from my diet over the last 6 months and recently removing white sugar as well, my headaches have gone from all day, every day,  to once or twice a week.
  4. My mood has improved.  I am still struggling with some hormonal issues that seem unrelated to the wheat/sugar in my diet, but over all, I am noticeably happier.
  5. Finally, I am 54 pounds lighter than I was when I started.  I'm not there yet, I still have some lbs left to shed, but I am working at every day.

No matter how many times I have wanted to give up, I am so proud of how far I've come, and I cannot wait to see what the next 6 months bring!

Stay fabulous!
xoxo
