A LONG Journey

January 13 my eating habits have changed drastically. I have decided to take out all bread products (starches) and sugars from my diet. This has been a long road just in the past 3 weeks. I have lost around 5 pounds but I have not enjoyed the journey. 

My husband has a fast metabolism and he can eat anything and still loose weight. When I first started he said he wouldn't eat anything I could not have in front of me. We tried that for a week and it turns out he started to loose weight. There is a slight problem (ok it may be a big problem) with him loosing weight. One he is already a bean pole, and two, when he gets below a certain weight his blood sugar does wonky things and it does not turn out very well. He has lost almost ten pounds in these last 3 weeks. So after the first week I started making him things like pasta, cakes, breaded things, you know all those good things that you can't have when on a diet. He has been very supportive and feels really bad about eating things in front of me and the fact I have to make it in the first place. But, I am willing to do it, to keep him healthy.  Even when it tempts me beyond measure. 

I love to cook and to eat. I love flavor, spices, and smells!!! I love to experiment with foods and to try new recipes. So naturally to take most everything that I like out of my daily living is hard. I have had great will power and have been trying to find different things to eat but it just seems to be the same thing over and over. 

 Well I will stop throwing a pity party now :) Here is to getting healthy and living a long life in service to our Lord.
