Here I am, nine months gluten free, and I want to eat something that makes me sick.

Why would that be? It is like a craving, I have to have it, and I do know it will make me sick, but I feel I have to have it.

It is not a plain sandwich I want, nor even a hamburger, or a cake or a biscuit.

But I want a piece (or a bag) of licorice allsorts!

What scares me, is that I think I will give in. I am even planning the experience. I know I shouldn't, but I try to reason with myself, and then I tell myself that if I eat it, that will be that, I will get sick and I will be over it. But what a way to get over my love affair with a licorice allsort. But this is another hurdle to get over. They are my absolute favourite sweets. I should really forget about them and buy a box of chocolates.

It is now I need support from those closest, but I feel nobody in the family really appreciates what I have given up and if I say I want something naughty they just give me a funny laugh and say no. It's like for them gluten would be the easiest thing in the world to give up. And I am guessing if I eat the no-no food I will get no-no sympathy at all. So instead, I should just mooch around and sulk with the biggest chip on my shoulder! They will really love that.

Well our pet Mintie was put down. It was so hard as me and Ryan were there. My big boy bawled his eyes out at the vets, and I was no better. But I can think of Minite and it puts a smile on my face, but I miss her so much.

Must go, and keep busy and think about what's for tea.
