The year without gluten, wheat, and sugar
I am going to blog about my attempt at this. Hopefully, if you stumble on this blog, this will help in your attempt or give you inspiration for healthy living.
The reason for going on this diet is for a few different reasons. Lately I have been having some depression issues. Rather than call this full blown clinical depression, I am trying natural (and supernatural) ways to curb the depression and make me a happier, joyful person. Plus, it couldn't hurt right?
I hesitated to have the word "without" in the blog title. Such language scares people away from attempting something like this. However, it is a fact that I will be living 'without' many different types of food. But this makes me creative! Sometime in the next few weeks I will be attempting gluten free cheesecake as well as many other recipes. Sometimes they will flunk in a taste test, but there are many tasty recipes out there as well as already prepared gluten free foods like pancakes, cake mix, etc.
Part of this journey is a spiritual one as well. I do not have the willpower on my own to even attempt this. I feel like this is what I need to do and God does not require us to do anything that we cannot do. So He will be my main supporter in this! Also, I have a feeling like many things are going to be changing this year and this year will be beneficial to mind, spirit, and body.
Thanks for reading!

Good Luck! I hope you don't mind me "following" you, but I want to see how it goes!
ReplyDeleteOne note: you wrote that "God does not require us to do anything that we cannot do." This exact thinking got me through a lot in the past, and I want to highlight the part of it that focuses on you. You won't be asked (required) to do anything that YOU can't do. As you then wrote, God can be your support, but it is your own strength that will enable you to do whatever you need to do for yourself.
I wish you the best this year!
