It comes down to, would I rather have a second of pleasure from eating cookies, and have a couple DAYS of pain/d/c/whatever.... or would I rather eat foods my body will love and I will be able to have a high quality of life? My ex has IBS (before I did) and would sabotage himself by eating foods that would put him on the potty EVERY day. He is gonna spend half his life in the bathroom cause he can't stop himself from indulging. I would never ever want to live liek that if I didn't have to! Finding Heather's diet gave me a new chance at life.
