…and it’s pizza.

One lady felt bad enough to buy me lunch instead, since my boss wouldn’t order salad on the side. Yay <3

Just when I feel like I’ve adjusted to living without gluten and dairy, I start having other issues with the social aspect of the thing.

My parents give me pity. I respond with anger and frustration. I don’t like to treat them like that, but in the heat of the moment I just… don’t slow down to be…

Eating out is the one part of being gluten free that doesn’t seem to get much better. And it feels like the waiters are rushing you… like give me a minute, I literally need to read all the ingredients -_-. It really sucks, but I think it’s a bit selfish to expect everyone you’re with to have to eat gluten free with you. I seriously understand, but it’s kinda unfair to the others, I think.

I get super sensitive and aggressive about eating out too. I still don’t know how to deal with it well. It doesn’t always have to be expensive, though! I really like Friday’s because I’m able to find things there that are gluten free and aren’t salads or super boring!! hahaha.

But, when it comes to eating gluten free at home, I would learn to cook some gluten free dinners for your family so you’re in control. They don’t have to be special or fancy either (check out the Betty Crocker site and search gluten free recipes- they aren’t the healthiest, but can be improved by just adding more vegetables).

Just continue to be a bit aggressive in explaining to others. Eventually, they will remember and won’t question you. You’re responsible for your body and you’re making the right decision for you!!
Hope things get better for you!

oh no, no, I don’t expect anyone to eat MY diet. In retrospect this post was written with that tone, but no. I just had had a really bad couple of days, I was feeling self conscious, and hatred for the diet overall. I express my frustrations in such a way because I feel singled out. I know that’s nothing that can be helped and it’s for the overall good, but, I was just sick of it. I was mad at my mom for choosing the restaurant that she did because, well, we had a long heart to heart about my anxieties with eating out and my conflicts with this diet… then she went to the restaurant and said “oh I’m so sorry you can’t eat anything!” It just hurt. And the waiter seemed to be pissed off. It was overall a disaster. But I don’t expect people to start eating at places only I can eat… I’m just frustrated with having to eat this way at all. 

If it makes sense, when my friends go out to eat at McDonald’s or somewhere, I TRULY have no tiff with them. I mean I can still have the little girl inside that’s having a fit but I’m not asking them to pay the same prices I have to pay. I really accept their choices. I always find a way around it. 

I’m just struggling.
