Unlearning

I've done pretty well with not ingesting wheat and gluten. When I say pretty well, I mean that I did drink a swig off of a beer and I did not drink anymore of it once I was reminded that, indeed, most beer contains gluten.

I feel better. I feel good. I think it would be the right choice for me to not eat large amounts of gluten. I'll miss it, but then again, I won't miss the way it makes me feel (think slug that never got to sleep all night). Here is the point: I am not anti-gluten, but am trying to be conscious of its prevalence in most typical food and trying to unlearn the habits that lead me to consume it day in and day out. Change is, oftentimes, good...whether we can see it immediately or not.

It takes time to adjust. We have such deep-rooted habits that sometimes even the idea of changing them sounds absurd. Its all a matter of inspecting your thoughts and the habits that follow. Are they serving you? Or are they abusing you? That's a big question with a big answer. Ask and listen and quit lying to yourself!

I've got two large boxes full of gluten-loaded food if anybody wants some!
