Before that I would eat anything and everything and can't seem to stop. I've been having very severe stomach pains and lots of other pain in my abdomen area for a long time. I try so hard to eat properly because of the fear the doctor has put into me, but get so darn frustrated. I try to bake bread but seem to mess it up. If I get it right then it goes bad fast. It's like I can't seem to maintaina healthy diet and enjoy food. I have no patience for making "everything" that I eat and no will power. I'm 287 pounds and 5'4" tall and way overweight according to the BMI index. Living in remote region in Northern Alaska makes it a bit incovenient to buy gluten-free products without bartering a seal and a whale for shipping. So... I . I dont know how much longer I can keep this up. I constantly say to myself that I've been eating this way for 41 years and have been miserable for just about that long that why does it matter if I'm gluten free? It's an everyday struggle with myself and I really have no support groups except what's on this internet. I was diagnosed with Coeliac’s disease at the beginning of 2011.

I know on the use of the word "cheating"-it was mostly in the hope if getting people to sit up and take notice ;) We all certainly have our own unique challenges! I think it's great that you have a plan-now it seems to me that the next step for you would be taking a look at that plan, and seeing what you can do to make executing that plan easier. For example, what can you do the night before so that when you get up in the morning, no matter what life throws your way, you're much more prepared to continue and follow through with your plan. I'm glad you've found the info helpful. That's what I'm here for-and it always makes my day to hear my message has been useful :) Hi Shirley!

I know you're performing a great service for many! Thanks also for the shout out the other day. :-) As far as goals, it always surprises me what others find hard and I find easy--drinking water for example. I have no issues drinking water. I get in tons of water. On weekends, usually water is my only beverage. During the week, I have tea in the mornings. (That work thing, you know?) I'm sure others would be surprised at what I find difficult though. So often I go to bed with a plan for the next day and the week and it quickly goes to naught once I get out of bed and other things happen. Thanks for the encouragement and great info here. I need to go back and re-read all your posts in this series. I still have issues with you calling starting out with a healthier, real food approach "cheating," but I understand your point.
