This is me. My name is Liz and I thoroughly enjoy donuts, bread, pizza, cookies, pancakes, and waffles. In fact, I could happily live on a deserted island with my socially-awkward dog and have donuts delivered to me daily via courier pigeon. I would order a maple bar on Monday and perhaps a chocolate-covered sprinkled donut on Friday. On all the other days, I would just eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with perhaps some toasted sourdough bread because yes, I have a toaster on my deserted island.
Unfortunately, I don't live on a deserted island with my socially-awkward dog. I live in Seattle, Washington with my socially-awkward dog and I struggle daily with an addiction to all things sweet and doughy. Because of this addiction, I have a blooming waistline, an itchy-hand problem (some type of rash), daytime fatigue, and well... diminishing self-esteem. Though this is the case, the doctors say I'm fine, which I completely disagree with.
I have decided to take control of this growing problem (pun intended). Through research over the past year, I have learned some alarming facts about wheat and processed foods and the havoc they can play on our bodies. With this knowledge in hand, I plan on making a change. I plan on eliminating all this junk from my life... as much as I can.
This is an experiment that I thought would be best to document because who knows - this could help others who struggle like I do. Through time, you will learn more about my symptoms and my addictions and hopefully, learn a little about how someone can make a change.
This is Day 1. This is where I'm starting from. I'm the blond kid in the picture there enjoying god's greatest gift: Ice cream!
God help me.
