One thing I like about my g-free project, is that it has become my motivator to say no to most sweets--since most sweets have flour in them.. Like last night--there was a plate of brownies sitting before me at a dinner party--normally I would have eagerly taken one, then eventually, ate a second one also. But I didn't eat any. Then today at Sunday School--we always have a table of Shipley donuts (really awesome looking, fragrant donuts) of every flavor, but I resist week after week.
I don't know why I found it hard to just say no to sweets before, but it was quite a struggle. Now, I just feel a bit sad, but it is not hard to do without. Of course, I have found ways to address my sweet tooth--chocolate candy, and ice cream are two things I didn't eat much before, but have on hand now as my quick go to for something sweet. So maybe I have not improved anything, just changed out my bad habits to new bad habits!
