Added benefit of the GF lifestyle...

I've lost 8 pounds since October.  Yep, 8.  No one can tell but me (I'm not having to keep buttoning/unbuttoning my pants!), but that's ok.  I can't say it's all been the GF lifestyle, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me.  You see, I'm just NOT hungry all the time like I used to be.  I used to HAVE TO have a snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon, but now I don't.  I used to HAVE TO finish everything on my plate, but now I don't.  It must be because my body is actually absorbing and using the nutrients in the food for the first time ever!  I don't need to eat as much because my body is actually getting what it needs!  Fancy that!  Unintentional weight-loss - who knew?!
