Things I don't get

I don't always understand me! There are some foods that I can't eat, period. I have worked very hard, done lot's of experimenting and taken a lot of time to figure out the food that my body likes and dislikes. I used to be uncomfortable on a regular basis, sore tummy (cramping), low energy, weird cravings, sleeplessness, tiredness and sometimes (not often) grumpiness. So I have done lot's of research, read more than I ever thought I ever would about what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat. I have separated the testimonials from the facts, asked for help from my friends and colleagues and read every label of every food that I have ever brought into my house. Yet....(you knew this was coming) I still want to eat some of the foods that I know make me sick. I don't want to replace them, I want them! Bread and dairy from cows are at the top of the list. It's like I resent the fact that I can't have those foods anymore. No one has told me not to eat them, I discovered on my own that when I have them, I feel like crap and when I don't, I feel great. So I know exactly what to do to feel good all the time, but I don't do it. Most of the time I can talk myself out of it, today was not one of those days.  Hmmmm........
