Heavy,
Nearly everyone has these ups and downs when eating the WB way. Some have dramatic results immediately, others take a longer time to notice the changes. The big change is unseen: cell by cell your body is working better, the way it should be. Cell by cell, then organ by organ, joint by joint, your body responds, giving you more energy and less or no pain!
I am marking my 11th month. Not only no encouragement, but friends and family were shall we say "rather skeptical" about my decision and certainly let me know about "their concerns".
Most of the time these were self centered, not about my health issues. I still made their favorite dishes for family parties, using a grain and sugar free recipe when possible.. Otherwise, I baked and cooked to their wishes. I didn't throw away the opened containers of flours and sugars and have used these ingredients for their requested cakes, cookies, breads and gravies, figuring they all needed a transition period too. I won't replace these items and look forward to more pantry space. This holiday season will be the end of the poison in my pantry!
The few times I ate wheat, inadvertently or knowingly, I felt lethargic afterwards. Sometimes I was able to track down the source, sometimes I wasn't. Now I am noticing I am sensitive to more of the chemicals in processed ingredients even when there isn't any wheat listed on the label.
More importantly, now I am getting compliments all the time! My skin is dewy and glowing. I can move around with ease. No more aches and stiffness. Recent blood work now shows age appropriate blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol and all other levels. The skeptics are even
noticing my "wellness.". Will they wonder about the road not taken? Not my business, even though my heart aches for them because I know they will get sick.
Your story is similar to all of ours. My personal mantra was "why should I poison myself with this -----?" and I would put the item down rather than in my mouth.
So, keep your courage up and note the milestones month by month. It will surprise you and keep you on the road to wellness. The best really is yet to come.
