It feels a little like Christmas Eve tonight.

I am starting the SCD Diet tomorrow; there is no sense waiting for the perfect time, as that never comes. I'm excited for this journey, but a little sad at the same time. I am sad to see my freedom to experiment with food and ingredients in the kitchen go, and it'll be a little more challenging than it already is in social situations. It was hard enough with the no gluten, diary, beef, garlic and many-other-awesome-things diet. On the other hand, I am filled with hope, as I am desperate to feel human again. Next month marks a solid two years of feeling questionable. T.F.L.

So, I spent the evening telling my dog all of the reasons why this will be good for the both of us as I cleared about $200.00 worth food from the cupboards and fridge - thankfully I have some friends who like food as much as I do.

I am also in the middle of preparing my meals for the next 5 days, as that's what they do on this thing. So I've decided to break from watching a pot of carrots boil for four hours to tell you what's on my menu this week.

Don't be jealous. Please?

Breakfast: hard boiled eggs, homemade grape jello, and chicken stock if I am still hungry.

Lunch: Chicken stock, pureed carrots, and homemade grape jello.

Dinner: Meatballs, chicken stock, and pureed carrots. And you've guessed it, homemade grape jello if I am still hungry.

It could be worse, it could be pureed tomatoes.

In all seriousness, I am asking for you to please pray for me. I don't like to ask, but this time I am.

God Bless,

P.S. If you are not in perfect health, you should seriously consider getting there. Do whatever it is necessary - eat right, exercise, do yoga, get a check-up, meditate, take your vitamins, see somebody - I don't care what you have to do to get right, just get there. Take it from me, nothing is worse than being forced to sit back and watch the others have all the fun.
