This Saturday morning was spent getting rid of all the food on the naughty list. Tom and I examined every single label in all of the cupboards. We eliminated everything that included sugar, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, artificial sweeteners, or monosodium glutemate (MSG). Labels with enriched flour were put on a "maybe naughty" shelf. I really have a strong feeling that the root issue is sugar in all it's forms (besides that which occurs naturally, i.e. fruits) that is causing inflammation and therefore providing me with lovely migraines. The first thing I am going to reintroduce into my diet is enriched flour products...I have really missed those tiny oyster crackers. I am going to introduce those first because I don't think that's what's causing my migraines.
Here's what has been on our shelves that I've been passing up for the past 21 days...
Yeah those are Godiva Chocolates. Tom got me 5 HUGE bars for my Christmas stocking. I haven't touched 'em this year. :)
There were also 2 grocery bags full of canned goods. We are giving my mom a lot of it and some to the food drive at church.

This morning on Facebook a friend posted this link about aspartame. It's pretty interesting and honestly a little scary. I am very thankful that soda has never been a big temptation for me. Here's the article.
Have a great weekend! Tonight is Spaghetti Crock Pot! I can't wait!!
