i've decided i hate tanning.

i didn't sleep a wink last night despite taking a benadryl. i think i am going to wear a bathing suit the next time i go, and just take the straps off so that i don't have lines on my shoulders. i can't take the burning and rash on my tender white midsection.

not eating wheat has been a godsend. last night i was dying for some pasta. so i bought some angel hair made with artichoke flour and sauteed up some diced tomatoes with garlic and chopped up artichokes, black olives and a splash of red wine. then i sliced up some fresh mozzarella and melted it on top... i had about 2 cups of the pasta and about a cup of the tomato sauce, then i washed it down with a glass of red wine... now in the past, if i made this with regular pasta this would absolutely kill me. i would be up all night choking up stomach acids till i ultimately puked at 3 am..

last night, i had absolutely no repercussions. i am still in shock that the problem i was having for so many years was as simple as not eating wheat. i still can't believe it..
