RE: Orville Redenbacher Cinnabon popcorn

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Yes, I totally agree. I am an eating disorders specialist! This is a great way to create an eating disorder- having to focus so much on food, being deprived of so many foods, trying to find substitutes, being thrilled to find a food (for example, animal crackers that are GF when I haven't had animal crackers in YEARS). It is hard not to binge. Also, the uncertainty of whether some foods are truly GF- they may look that way, but then a company informs me there may be cross contamination- - Very Draining.

My Best,

Caryn

I was a vegetarian for 32 years, and after losing 23 lbs.-down to 94 lbs., I was literally starving to death, losing a pound a day during the last week before being diagnosed. I was terrified of dying. My husband literally spoon-fed me cooked chicken, and I ate it with whatever strength I had left because I desperately wanted to live. I have gained all my weight back and find now that it is the carbohydrates I absolutely crave - Kinnikinnick bread, nut breads and muffins, biscotti, etc. and I make them all from scratch - all delicious! I have never ate like this before in my life. I am now working out in a gym three times a week, drinking tons of water and trying to eat more veggies.

I just find that I am thinking about food and recipes all the time now - whereas a couple of years ago, I would forget to eat lunch!! Now, THAT is ironic!!

My weight gain came from the use of Prednisone for another autoimmune disease that affects the liver. So far, CD hasn't seemed to affect my weight. I hear that some people lose and some people gain when they go gluten-free.

This is NOT something I want to know about! I prefer to remain ignorant of Cinnabon popcorn. I prefer to believe that raw carrots are the only GF snack. (I gained forty pounds in one months, from treatment for another autoimmune disease.)

Thanks to everyone for your replies! It's comforting to know that other people are out there and going through some of the same feelings of denial as I am (saying this as I dunk my walnut-orange biscotti in my coffee this morning!).

I just have such a hard time denying myself what I CAN eat! When I go shopping in a grocery store on Saturday mornings, I think the same thing as I walk through the store. People would absolutely not believe me if I told them I could not eat 3/4ths of what is in their grocery baskets, and I literally cannot eat at least HALF of what is on the grocery store shelves. These thoughts still just boggle my mind. It's like I am in the Twilight Zone or something - it seems so surrealistic being denied comfort foods such as a Krispy Kreme donut or an egg salad sandwich on Wonder Bread. Gosh, those were the days......................

I guess I am over the "I'm happy just to be alive" thing now that I am healthy again but am now struggling with the psychological stage of constantly being denied foods that I used to enjoy. There are substitutes, yes, Amy's g-f pizza is convenient and pretty darn good, etc., but it does NOT take the place of going to a pizza parlor with friends and enjoying the smell and the anticipation of eating real pizza with friends. I did go about 6 months ago with friends to a pizza place and actually pulled out my own warm g-f pizza to eat with them, but, alas, it's still not the same thing...............

Thanks to all for letting me drone on and on...........
