I just googled 'repairvite recipies' and found some really delicious sounding ones!  Mountainviewchiropractic.net (I think it was but not sure) had a ton of them.  Just google 'repairvite recipies' and see what comes up.  I think it helps when you begin any diet to have the recipies and food on hand as you don't feel like it's so hard.

Hi Val,

No reason to feel bad.  I remember when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  I decided to do as you did, and gorged myself with gluten for one last "hooray" .  I also  remember how much I suffered afterward though. 

I hope you feel better with your new diet.  But if not, at least you gave it your best.

Whenever you're making a change, be kind to yourself.  If you do something you wish you hadn't, don't beat yourself up about it, just move on.  As you get into your diet, if you eat something that isn't good for you, you'll notice the effects it has on you.  So, just notice and go back to eating what's good for you.

I've had such dramatic results from my diet changes, that there are some (many) foods which I like the taste of that are simply no longer tempting, because I just don't want to hurt.  Chocolate means fatigue and brain fog for me, even little bits, so I still look at it and sometimes wish I could eat it, but I don't want to feel that way, so I let it be.

You'll find a balance that works for you.  And when you find foods that make you feel good, you'll find some of them that become new comfort foods. 

Good luck to you!

Yeah, I would have done the same. Don't beat yourself up. I wish you luck in your new diet journey..
