So I ate a peach last week and got away with it. It was an absolutely delicious, ripe organic yellow peach from California, and it tasted so good, and nothing bad happened so I thought, Ok, maybe I can eat peaches now. So I bought two more and ate them on Thursday and Friday and yesterday I spent most of the day in the bathroom. I guess I can eat one peach but not two. Lesson learned. That's the thing about this FODMAP business -- it actually is cumulative. I have to be very careful that if I eat one helping of something high FODMAP I don't accidentally eat something else I shouldn't the next day. I need to be very very careful this week, as I am flying on Thursday and going to a baseball game on Friday night, and I don't want the trip ruined by IBS. Of course, I'll lay in a supply of Imodium -- but I'd rather not have to use it. Wish me luck everybody!

Yup -- the wheat flour scone was tasty and now it has cleared out my system. I wasn't really sick though. Sometimes, when I make a really big mistake, I don't just have gas and diarrhea, I really feel sick with headache, muscle aches and the sweats -- just nasty. But I got off pretty easy this time. It may sound strange, but I think that I can get away with the wheat better if the item I eat is high fat. Something happens with the combination of the flour and the fat that somehow makes it less objectionable to my poor struggling digestive system.

But I'll be careful the next 10 days so I don't have to get on an airplane feeling uncertain. By the way, I learned an unfortunate but valuable lesson on the plane to Las Vegas last month: Don't put yogurt in your carry on bag unless it's in a ziplock bag! The air pressure in the plane causes leaks and it makes a very big mess. So now I keep a ziplock in my carryon so I can buy yogurt at the airport and have it on long plane flights since I can't possibly eat anything they sell on the plane. That flight to Vegas is 3 hrs 45 min, assuming no delays, and you could starve to death!

I admit it. I ate a delicious chocolate chip scone this morning for breakfast. I will likely pay a price tomorrow, but I'm not worried about it weight-wise. Wheat flour makes me so ill, I don't think I actually absorb any calories from it. Usually, when I have one of my "OMG, I must enjoy a baked good!" fits, I generally go for the Saturday morning maple-bacon donuts at Dinkels Bakery. But I just go it in my head today that I wanted a chocolate chip scone, so I brought my own lactose-free milk in a thermos, and got myself a scone, and sat outside on a bench in the shade and savored that scone. It was very good. I hope I don't pay too badly for it tomorrow, as I have a busy day. But at least I got it out of my head. I guess I can't say that I got it out of "my system" until I see what happens tomorrow.

So I was pretty thrilled with my weigh-in today. I know I have to really stick with the plan for the next couple of weeks. I am giving a bbq for friends and family on Sunday, and that will be a real splurge: bbq shortribs and potatoes and chocolate almond flour cake and homemade ice cream oh dear. But it's one meal. And I tell myself that if, after all this time, I cannot eat one splurge meal and get back on track the next morning, then there is really no hope that I can keep this weight off. So I hope everyone will root for me. Then mid-July I leave for a 7-day vacation with my sister and cousin in Baltimore & DC. We will be eating out a lot, and even when we are at my sister's house, we won't be doing much cooking if it's hot because when it's hot in DC, you do not light the stove for any length of time. This will be a challenge -- I don't care if I don't lose weight for the month of July, but I sure don't want to end the month with my weight higher than it is this week. After that, I am just determined to hit Labor Day below 150. That's not too ambitious: 4.5 pounds in the next 10-12 weeks. I am just going to keep at it.
