Friends contacted me this week to get together for lunch. I will admit my initial reaction was to say no because it would be (I thought) more difficult to order vegan and gluten-free at this particular restaurant; Dragon 88. Then I thought, "No, I will not let food rule my life". Yay me! I have spent too many years dieting and letting food have way too much control over what I do and how I feel. I have spent the last several months on a complete non-diet and trying to fix the damage my years of dieting have caused. After agreeing to lunch my second thought was to say screw it and order what I always order at this restaurant, foods loaded with eat and gluten and some deep-fried to boot. I thought about this but then thought how bad I would likely feel after eating it and also the next day. Instead I checked out their menu and found some options that sounded great and allowed me to stay gluten-free and vegan. Keep in mind, there was a language barrier so it was a little harder to get my wants across. I ended up with a delicious rice and rice noodle dish that the cook made for me. It was very tasty, but I did notice when I was almost finished there was egg in my fried rice :( Not a huge deal as I don't think that small amount will be a problem.
Almost two weeks of trying to eliminate meats, diary, and gluten from my diet and I am feeling better in some areas already. Enough so to keep going and see where it takes me.
