No cravings yet!

It's almost been a week of this dairy-free diet and I'm proud to say I haven't craved anything so far....but I know they'll come!

Although, that doesn't mean I've thought about missing out on yogurt or chips/veggies with dip. Chloe had macaroni and cheese the other day and luckily I'm not too fond of the box style, so it wasn't a problem!
Lately, I haven't been too good about avoiding sweets and cookies - unless it contains chocolate then I'm better at staying away. However, that doesn't mean that I still don't have my chocolate stash for a much-needed day of indulgence. When I was in the hospital with Chloe, my anut and uncle brought me a box of Mrs. Florence's chocolates - which I save for only special or needed days!

Otherwise, my goal is to have a dairy-free diet and very few sweets on a rare occasion. We originally made a list of foods that both bother my stomach and one big item is anything tomato-based. As we've researched dairy-free menus, it's hard to plan and cook tomato and dairy-free plus my huge list of foods. I haven't been as strict with those foods this past week in order to focus more on dairy products. Maybe as time goes, I'll eliminate a few off and on. Anyways, it's been an OK week and having to realize that answers don't come as fast I as want them to...but for now I must do my part in eating dairy-free. Thanks to a wonderful husband who always reminds me to be strong!!
