This blog is not my first, and heck, it may not be my last. In successful blogs that I've had in the past, and by successful I mean I was dedicated to posting, I've kind of just always wrote about what was on my mind, whenever I have a subject matter or idea of what I want the blog to be I always tend to come across writers block and lose motivation, so my intention for this blog is to literally just write about the times and trails of myself navigating my way through a new found food intolerance. I don't really feel like sharing my entire back story just yet, although I am sure that will come with time.
I can't promise that this blog will be a success, but I can say that as of right now I am very passionate about the subject matter. This blog is going to explore my adventure of learning to listen to my body, my mind and my soul. After some testing, I've recently discovered that the route cause to my what seems like, life long illness of IBS is likely triggered by an intolerance to sucrose and dairy. It is not easy cutting either one, sugar is just straight up in everything and dairy is just straight up delicious. In any case, this new discovery has lead me to learn how to search for all of these amazing sugar free counterparts of every day food items, like condiments, etc and I've been astounded to find that these naturally sweetened finds are actually even more delicious than their sugar loaded counterparts. All of this cooking at home has lead to another new found passion, frugality. I've been purging our apartment of almost everything I can that seems to be unnecessary or taking up too much space, and in turn I've also been buying less. It's actually been quite rewarding.
What an exciting blog, the adventures of a girl who is saving money and doesn't eat sweets. BOOOORING. But I promise, as lame as it sounds, I'm sure this could stem into something good. And hell, if it doesn't atleast I'll have found a new (free) pass time and creative outlet to share my delicious sugar free recipes.
The blog title goes way back to a beautiful muse, one of my best friend's, Becky. Our other friend, Steph and I always made fun of Becky because she was such an 'old lady', mocking her incredibly geeky one-time request for "No sugar in my tea, sugar gives me a headache". You really need to be careful what you say around us, because you'll never live it down. She is mocked to this day, nearly 8 years later.
This ones for you, Becky.
Until then.
