Well done sweety!!!!! I'm so impressed. Once you've mastered your first loaf you've got it made  You'll be cooking up GF storms all the time now! The loaf I made was delicious, but a bit more crumbly then the bread mixes I've been using. Lovely toasted tho. The muffins were also DELICIOUS, but next time I'll use less butter, as it didn't really need as much as the recipe said. Once I've made them again I'll email you the new recipe
Camping was a BLAST!! The weather was gorgeous and we pitched our tents right on the beach, watched the sunset over the water, and had baths in the ocean! But I'm feeling a bit sad tonight, because apart from my very good intentions to begin with, food got the better of me once people were handing around potato chips, chocolate, and cheese and crackers all weekend. I did stay GF, raaaayyyy, but I couldn't say no when the easter eggs were being passed around. And despite having an awesome time (we caught heaps of fish, yummm, and spent most our time swimming and snorkelling, so cool) I was so stressed about food that I obsessed about it allllllllllll weekend and overate till my belly was sooooooooooo sore  I've decided no more weekends away until I can get ontop of the whole food thing I'm dealing with at the moment. I'm actually thinking of seeing a counceller as I've now accepted that I definately have an eating disorder. I looked at your compulsive eating website, but would like some 1:1 help. Have you ever seen someone professional, and if so has it helped?
I read your post in the IBS diet section, sorry you're feeling so sad at the moment If its any consolation, I understand how tough it is, so my heart really is with you. My friends were marvellous during our trip, one night we were going to make a vege stockpot (using a packet sauce mix), but on finding out I was GF, my friend insisted we make a GF sauce instead. It was really easy to eat GF in the sense that everyone understood, but it was soul destroying watching everyone devour hot x buns, delicious fresh white bread, crackers and cheese, potato chips..... you name it I couldn't have it. Even caramel filled easter eggs were a no no
But I really really enjoyed spending time with friends, and I now have renewed determination to follow my strict diet, find out exactly what foods are causing my grief, and get better. I hated hiding my bloated tummy behind t-shirts, while others frolicked in their bikinis! And I hated feeling so panicky and obsessive about food.
Sorry I've rambled so much, I just had to get a few things off my chest, and I know how well you understand me, its so comforting to have you there. I thought about you alot over the weekend, and I took some photos for you! Will post them soon. I hope together we can beat this thing.
Take care xxxx
