THAT IS SO UPSETTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all happy belated belated birthday!

Second, the customer is always right! What ever happened to that motto?

Third...I eat at friend's houses with my husband almost every week! The worst is when they don't THINK the dish they made has eggs...and then they check...and I get to watch them eat! (Or when it doesn't occur to me that the item might have somehting I can't eat in it--like sugar substitutes--and I get a tummy ache!)

I hear ya! It's maddening!

YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! That's the most important thing! It doesn't matter what the waitress thinks of you (I gotta tell ya, I don't think too much of HER for being so inconsiderate)...you have to live with yourself and your body. You treat it right--and you do what you have to to get what you need! (You know the idea that we often say things to other people that we really need to say to ourselves? This is me saying to you what I should really be saying to myself!)

I know how you feel about eating right and not getting better. I went through the same thing. You may want to try a journal of what you eat, when, how much, which brand, and how it makes you feel. I discovered I can't eat corn this way! I'm also finding I may not be able to eat gluten. This was VERY helpful for me!

I hope you feel better in every way soon! And I hope we will all just be good to ourselves and our bodies--no matter what anyone else thinks! We'll thank ourselves for it later!

*big hugs*
