Oh boy! Derrek and I both went to see a holistic doctor last week for food allergies. We were both told to go on one month of high potency probiotics to "re-balance" the natural enzymes in our stomachs. However, he was also told to go off sugar, wheat, and dairy for 3 weeks to see if he is allergic to any one of those food groups. FYI, Sir Derrek is a sugar addict. Ha ha, ha ha was my first response. I'm allergic to citric acid and he always temps me with juicy oranges, lemonade and grape fruit ... meanie. Now the tables have turned and last night I ate warm chocolate chip cookies and milk, in bed, while he drooled, cursed, and brooded ... eating veggie stir fry :) Snicker, snicker. Not very Karmalized I know...
Today is day 5 of his "special diet" and guess what? It's not fun anymore ... not for him, not for me. I guess it really is hard to come "off" sugar, cheese, butter and carbs. I'm not sure I could do it because I LOVE ME SOME BREAD AND ICE CREAM!!!!! Anyway, we are not really the bickering type of couple. I think we've had 5 actual fights since we started dating 1 year and 2 months ago, but in the past 3 days, he's been PMS sensitive. I cannot wait for these 3 weeks to end. I'm going to shovel candy, cookies, and pasta into my man's mouth and be thrilled to have the sugar happy Derrek back in my life :)
I've been listening to a fantastic set of DVD's by Tony Robinns called "Get the Edge." It's a 7 day motivational experience that has made me extremely action oriented in the past 2 weeks. There are parts that cheese me out a little bit, but overall, I LOVE IT. Yesterday I was listening to the relationship DVD on the treadmill Tony talked about the importance of being in a relationship where your goal is to give, not to take. I am trying to give during this time with Derrek ... trying to be understanding when he is ULTRA MOODY ... and trying to find food he likes and can actually eat!!!!! We went to the grocery store around 9pm the other night, to buy cookie dough, not to bake, but to fry ... long story. All of a sudden I hear Derrek say "OH MY GOD! DO YOU THINK? DO YOU THINK?" I whip around to see him double fisting Frito's Corn Chips ... he can have corn on this diet ... and there are only 3 ingredients in Frito's, corn, corn oil, and salt. Now ... I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I tell you, he dropped to his knees in the middle of the market and raised the bag of crispy salty goodness up to the sky. Derrek had found the promise land ... Frito's would save us both. Pics coming soon ...
