Complications

If life wasn't already complicated enough (and believe me, at the moment it is) we have a new complication: Celiac.

I got tested a few weeks ago, and while I haven't gotten my results back yet, I went gluten free anyhow, just to see if it makes a difference.  IT DOES!  I have less anxiety (or rather less anxiety for no reason) and seem to have fewer headaches. 

I have also learned a new way to lose weight, it's called the "I have nothing I can safely eat in my house that won't take at least an hour to prepare and it's already 9 pm, so I'm going to drink a bunch of water and just go to bed" diet.  I've lost about 4 lbs in the past 2 weeks!  I am working on fixing this problem though, seeing as I really don't have much weight to lose. 

The sad thing is that my metabolism has decided to kick into a higher gear (between the no gluten and a lovely thing called Spark) and so I eat little meals, but eat more often.  This is the more healthy way to do things from what I have read (been doing research) but it is hard for me to come up with things I will actually eat, that I CAN actually eat. 

As hard as it is to work around, I am glad to have something to work at that I KNOW makes a difference in how I feel.  Is complicated, but will be worth the effort.
