As of today, I have less than a week to go on my elimination diet. In some ways this diet had gotten easier and easier as time is passed, but it is not something that I would like to do forever. While I am disappointed that I have not seen any change in my symptoms, I am relieved that I can go back to eating bread and cheese soon. I have an increased respect for those with allergies that can't eat these foods, as I have walked in their shoes for almost a month.

How I picture Kelly and Jason's upcoming Superbowl party. |
On the other hand, in some ways this diet gets harder by the day. It's not working, I don't have food allergies, so what is the point of continuing? I am a stubborn person who likes to finish what I start, yet it is difficult to continue something with so little reason. Yet the doctor said four weeks, so I will continue.
My ending point should be next Tuesday, yet this Sunday marks a "holiday" in all of the United States. Next to Thanksgiving, the Super Bowl is the one of the big food-focused gatherings and I am considering stopping my diet early in order to partake of the festivities. I could do as I have been doing for the past month and bring my own snacks, yet I am not sure that 2 days will make that much of a difference. Besides, I can't think of a better way to welcome myself back into the world of real food than a potluck, friends, and football!
Ha! You crack me up, Christy. :) Thanks for the picture, now I have something to aim for, but I'm quite sure that I don't have a room in my house that will fit that long of a table...or that big of a TV on the wall. Nonetheless, we will have good food and I hope you can enjoy it with us.
ReplyDeleteYep I see my wings I'm bringing there with their sauce. I'm sure everyone will enjoy the party, regardless of the looks of things LOL
