I wasn't expecting grieving emotions from giving up gluten. I'm currently in the anger & bargaining stages. I can't stay in denial stage because the evidence is overwhelming.

Lady M, maybe if you termed it "seeking out alternatives to gluten", that might pique your curiosity and help quell the inner cravings? Replacing something negative (giving up gluten) with something positive (seeking out tasty and healthy alternatives).

Hi to all of you ! Thankls for being here. Thanks to Lady Maverick for starting the October thread.

I need this thread. I also need to post more often, or I forget.
For October I need to reinforce my existing habits. I think I should write them on paper so I can see them even when not having time to visit the boards.

LadyMaverick that is a very interesting habit. Accessible pen and paper must indeed reduce stress, and probably your mental load. I will follow your progress.

Waving to Harriet and Bama !

Here are the habits I'm working on, in OCtober :
Daily floss : ☑_☑☑
Daily pelvic floor habit : ☑_ _ _
Daily strength training : _ _ ☑_
No sugar before 4 pm ☑☑☑☑
No screens after 10 pm ☑_☑_
A general sense of discipline : ☑☑☑☑
This last habit seems to change a lot of things. It's more a mindset change than a habit probably, but I'm leaving it in the list.
