On June the 5th I have a university ball with my friends. I bought a dress last year (around March) that was on sale and only had one size left. It fit me perfectly and was a pretty good price so I bought it. I have wanted to go to a university ball so I bought the dress to wear when I decided to go to one.
TRAGEDY. I tried the dress on last night to make sure it still fits me. It seems to be a size too small now! I was thinner last year as I was pretty sick with stomach issues. While I still do have some issues with my stomach, I am feeling better this year and have put on a few kilos. I haven’t gained that much weight but if I want to wear my dress in a few weeks I will need to be stricter with what I eat.
I have decided to do a 20-day paleo challenge! Not only will this help me lose weight (no grains or bad sugary stuff), it will allow me not to eat dairy or gluten (which I am sensitive to anyway and suffer from bloating when I eat these foods) and I will get to try out this way of eating to see what all the fuss is about!
I try to stay away from gluten as often as possible because I feel pretty lousy when I eat it but dairy is harder to resist! The only time dairy really affects me is when I drink cow’s milk. However, I am super excited to try this way of eating! I will post again about this after I have finished the challenge to let you know what I think about this way of eating, if my symptoms have reduced and most importantly if I fit into my dress!!
I will start the challenge tomorrow (Monday May 18th) and finish it the day after the ball (Saturday June 6th). I will also try to post any recipes, tips, tricks or meal plans I come across during my two weeks of eating like a cave lady.
If you eat the paleo way I’d love to hear any advice or recipes you have for me.
Wish me luck!
