I have been wheat/gluten-free since July 4th where a party salty-food-and-alcohol binge (chips, pizza, etc.) made me feel SO ill the next day & coincided with an out of shape friend getting really sick.

It just hit me like, why do I eat stuff that is so bad for me because IT'S THERE when there is so much delicious food that I LOVE?

Since that day I have been determined to eat what is good for me no matter what my family is eating or what restaurant I end up at - I am so much healthier and happier now that I'm eating like a grown up, and all my food cravings are pretty much gone.
