Day 3: gluten, sugar, dairy free

I seem to be hitting a wall with the sugar. Cookies are looking mighty good to me. Unfortunately I just fine-read the label on the cranberry juice I've been drinking and it turns out to have sugar. I could have sworn it said 100% juice Sad I did however go grocery shopping today and got some gluten and dairy free products, unsweetened or lowest sugar available: frozen gf waffles, the Perky's O's cereal and another brown rice cereal, some almond and soy milks, soy yogurt, gf bread machine mix, rice cakes, gf rice pasta. Continuing on a feeling I started to have last night, I don't know if it's mental or not, but this feeling inside of being lighter... like being a little more hollow in my chest and bowels; in the trunk of my body. Hmmm. I've also been getting over a respiratory thing, so less coughing and phlegm also contributes to this feeling.

Today's breakfast: one coffee, cantelope & honeydew.

Lunch was a smorgasbord at the co-op preschool: dinner leftovers (punjabi potatoes & cauliflower, chicken), veggie chips, tofu/seaweed dip, tomatoes, apple, rice cake, soy yogurt, blueberries

Dinner: polish sausage shish kabobs with zuchini, yellow squash, potatoes, onion, mushrooms marinated in oregano & rosemary from my garden and garlic & olive oil.

I feel like with a nursling I constantly have to keep the snacks going so I don't ever feel hungry. I can't take more than like 5 minutes of hunger or I go nuts. I wonder how much of this is my relationship with sugar, and if my experience of hunger between meals will change as I take sugar out of the diet.
