Okay, I’m now four days into this strict elimination/rotation diet. Despite my hunger pangs and embarrassing stomach growling that accompany my more limited food days, I’m hugely encouraged!
Would you believe my anxiety has subsided and I’m back to being able to deal with work stresses more effectively (and without hand-wringing and tears)? I’m no longer emotionally ‘flat.’ I’m smiling (a lot) and feeling like my old, cheery, positive self. My headaches and stabbing gut pains are improving. I’ve only been on this diet for a three full days!
Know what else I’m celebrating? My bloating is better (goodbye gerkin fingers! Sayonara, distended stomach!) and my jeans are already looser. If only I could have some wine (or even some smooshed grapes) to toast these victories!
