Bread-aholics Anonymous

It is no secret that I like to eat bread. It is my favorite food. I adore muffins, scones, dinner rolls, crescent rolls, garlic bread. I never turn down the opportunity to eat bread. Bread is usually the first thing that I go for. But, my body has been struggling with the effects of eating bread and responding in such a way that I can no longer tolerate wheat. Yes, I am wheat intolerant. I have known this for about a year and I thought I had it under control but really it has me under control.

I have been doing some research about 'gluten-free' foods and I have decided to make the leap and stop eating foods that contain wheat. This is going to be a huge change for me. Modifying my behavior towards bread and any other food that contains wheat is going to be very hard. I tried it for about 4 months last year and the results were wonderful but I fell off the 'gluten-free' wagon and I never looked back.

I think that once I get my kitchen set up to be a 'gluten-free' environment, I should be okay. I like to bake cookies, pies and breads so this shouldn't be to hard to handle. I will need to purchase some additional kitchen appliances but what woman wouldn't want more Kitchen Aid appliances to play with. I currently have a Kitchen Aid mixer which is the best toy you could have in the kitchen.

So, instead of making this a problem, I am going to make this an opportunity to not only improve my health but to improve to my behavior towards food in general. I get the opportunity to try different foods and expand knowledge in the kitchen.

Wish me luck. I am going to need it.
