Week 1 is over

Okay so here is the update on the food restrictions. I haven't cheated which really is the easy part. Although the food I'm eating is bland and is getting old real fast, I try not to let myself think about the foods I'm missing out on. I just think about the foods I can have. Some days I am so tired of the same food that I would rather be hungry than eat but I know that's not a good idea. My stomach has been growling for a week now, none of the food I eat seems to satisfy the hunger. I could eat more, but eating organically is incredibly expensive and so I have to conserve. My SIL Sandra asked why I could have Granny Smith apples and not other kinds. To be honest I'm not sure but I was excited to be able to have fruit so I didn't really care. I had one on one of the first few days and it was divine. I had one yesterday and I have been paying for it for 24 hours. So I think if I have anymore I will limit it to a slice and it will only be when I feel my blood sugar is low.

The first few days I thought this was going to be cake (Mmmm, cake), I didn't have any real side effects besides being hungry and incredibly grouchy. But the program said I would get worse before I got better and it has hit. Just the last couple days my symptoms have been magnified and I've been really weak. So I'm trying to push through this. Having the symptoms be worse makes me wonder if this is going to work but I am going to get through this.

On another note, my incredibly supportive, patient and loving husband made me dinner. It was the tastiest thing I've had all week.
It was gorgeous and so good. I got some pasta from the health food store that is gluten free and he mixed in some roasted vegetables and some grilled chicken with it. He is the best!
