Yeast Free Living

So after almost 3 1/2 weeks of blatantly cheating and consequently feeling like absolute crap I am really ready to get going again on a strict candida diet.  I am currently feeling depressed, bloated, gassy, unfocused, achy and extremely fatigued.  I got off track a few weeks back when I failed to make a plan for how  I would make it through Thanksgiving and 3 consecutive birthday celebrations (including my 30th) yeast free.  It was an utter disaster.  I consumed numerous alcoholic beverages, bread, white rice, pizza, desserts and at least a ton of other foods all strictly prohibited on the candida diet.  I have to admit that it was fun not thinking about what I was going to eat for a little while but I feared I would eventually coming crashing down and here I am back at the beginning.  There are two  more big hurdles that I must overcome.  Celebrating Christmas and New Year’s Yeast Free will be no easy task but I am going to develop a yeast free plan so that I can make it through.  Considering that I am staying home for Christmas cooking yeast free should be okay.  I only expect maybe one guess and I am sure he will not mind diving into some new tastes.  He is a good sport.  This may not be an ideal time to start up again as I really wanted to make it through all the holidays first but I feel so very bad that I can not ignore what I am doing to myself.  Besides I really want to get back on track as it would be nice to start 2010 on my way to conquering my candida overgrowth.  I will keep everyone posted on my progress.  I hope that you are having more luck than I am adhering to the candida diet this holiday season.
