To Weigh Or Not To Weigh

I have been ordered (a long time ago) to weigh myself every morning. I stubbornly refused to do it, although I do own a very sensitive weighing scale. The last few months, I have been forced to admit that it is now necessary to face the scale everyday, if I want to find out which food causes my body to react crazy.

So far, I found out I am intolerant of anything with lactose--to a certain degree. Alcohol gives me headaches and coffee is my friend (that goes the same with chocolate which is my very best friend). I can tolerate cheese if I eat it with protein (eggs, chicken, fish or steak) but I can have ice cream all on its own without any problems. Starch gives me trouble. That means I better be careful from now on with rice, bread, cakes and all the other wonderful things that I love to eat. Sugar is something I do not miss but find that consume a lot in the form of fruits.

Yeah...I know. So mysterious. But I promised that I will weigh myself on April 27 before we leave for the trip. Which means I don't have to weigh myself everyday after that....yet.
