my super awesome gluten free break up revenge diet!

Here is a detailed three day plan for my super duper awesome gluten free diet.  Because of a goiter recently discovered by a physician along with an ever growing desire to become more healthy I am changing my eating habits.  This is not a fad diet in which I hope to lose twenty pounds fast, but a way for me to be accountable for my health through a diet that is not only beneficial but also enjoyable.   I am keeping in mind days I am out, days I am at home and days I work in order to make this a realistic plan.  Hopefully we can use this plan to use as a jumping off point and I will not put in which day is home, work or out and about.  Also, I completely enjoy cooking even if I am not hungry so for me cooking in advance will be key.  I hope this helps other people planning a similar diet whether you want to lose weight, detox or are trying to avoid inflammatory foods for medical reasons.  Honestly, lets just strike the gluten free and call this my super awesome breakup revenge diet, because nothing is a better victory after a breakup than becoming a better version of yourself.

5 ways HIGH FIDELITY helped me through my breakup.

High fidelity has to be one of the best movies to watch while going through a breakup.  Whether you're the asshole or your ex is, you should be able to leave the movie with your own list of five. 



1. Lisa Bonet's rendition of "Baby I love your way" had me feeling like I could be the one who leaves the film unaffected and thriving, ready to venture into my own world of madness, sadness and power without that pesky cling to a dude.

 2. The real and the imaginary, the fantasies that are kept that are small and meaningless yet prevent the desire to commit... is explained very well in this scene and allowed me to remember that with all the gadgets, facebooks and internety ways to feel out other options, well, it allowed me to remember that I am not to blame if I find myself in a situation where I am second to a person who does not exist.

3. And then I was like... JACK BLACK, i luv you?

 4. This quote: 
 If you really wanted to screw me up, you should’ve gotten to me earlier. 
Rob 



 5. And finally, De Salle's wise words that remind me that I wont be alone forever.
