Not a bad week

Last week was really not that bad. Temptations were not high. Jimmy and I went out to eat and I managed to stay away from all glutens. I didn't try baking anything because work was long and I was too exhausted every night. It took all I had just to cook a couple pieces of chicken. Jimmy had made gluten free green chili chicken enchiladas over the weekend so we had plenty of leftovers. I am hoping this week will be better and not so long, especially since I do not have to work Friday.

Biscuits...

Well, I lied about making biscuits. As it turns out the recipe called for an ingredient that for some reason or another did not end up in my grocery bag.

Instead, I made a loaf of bread. Now, my favorite bread is Mrs Bairds and this loaf is no Mrs. Bairds but it wasn't bad. I think it will do its job and supress my craving to eat a sandwich. With this problem solved my new dilema is finding either a recipe or finding gluten free hamburger buns that don't taste awful.

Temptations

Ok, so yesterday I was at home and between doing homework and stuff around the house I came to a realization. While I am in my home I am not really tempted to eat glutens and I got to thinking about temptations outside my home. My struggle with temptations lies in the fact that I no longer have the convenience to just stop and pick up something to eat. I have found most gluten free foods are limited to salads, if even that. Many times I'm not even hungry but that voice in my head screams wanting what I can't have.

My other temptation lies with meeting friends at restaurants. I struggle when looking over the menu. My heart wants items I have eaten before but no longer can eat. Recently, I have found myself not wanting to go when we all go out. I'm not sure yet how to handle my feelings of wanting what my body sees as poison.
