So here goes to not taking advantage of the freedom I've been handed in regards to my eating. It doesn't answer all the questions as to why I didn't get headaches when I lived in CA, but I'm glad to have found a way to control them while living in MN, at least so far
In my previous blog I had written about how I am trying to stay away from yeast and sugar and dairy to see if it contributes to my having headaches. I cannot tell you how excited I was to find out that I can now incorporate yeast and sugar back into my diet! It was like this heavy load was lifted. Yes I am dramatic, but yes it is hard to have to cut things you love out of your diet if you've never had to do that before. I need to have it in moderation of course and to notice if I start getting headaches again then I need to back off. I called my husband all excited and we decided to have pancakes that night since he was home before me and that's his specialty. They tasted wonderful. My breakfast of unsweetened almond milk and plan cheerios leave so much to be desired. Pancakes are the opposite, esp with chocolate chips in them. This morning I did wake up with a headache. I was trying to not blame it on the overly sweet dinner from the night before (way to overdo it Megan). Sadly, sugar might trigger my headaches. That was something I would never consider a possibility in the past when people asked if chocolate could be the cause. I'll still stand behind my "dark chocolate has nothing to do with my headaches" stance till I die.. but the sugar I might have to be careful about. Why is it so hard to tell ourselves no to certain foods? With me, I feel like it's not fair. If Jason is sitting there eating a bowl of ice cream, I want that ice cream too because I like it just as much as he and if I don't have a bowl when he does then we won't get the same amount each out of the carton. Did that make sense? But having self-control and being disciplined are Godly traits that we need to incorporate into our lives, no matter how unfair it seems at the time. Titus and Proverbs speak of being self-control, not to mention that it's a fruit of the Spirit!

Megan FremontI'm a Christian. I'm a wife to a wonderful man and a mother to a sweet little girl and a handsome little man. I've lived in MT, MN, KS, CA, N.Z., I like to travel. I love dark chocolate and coffee. I grew up on a farm and never learned to drive stick, I went to a two-room school house for nine years, I love Fall in MN (except for the fact I'm always cold), I miss the Montana Sky, and I'm new to blogging.
