Drawing a Line

So, I was on the WB website and stumbled upon the "Wheat Belly Quick and Dirty Page" and found out a little more about what we should eliminate on this diet. Wheat, I get. Even after a few days, I'm seeing the benefits. But there were a few things that I had to draw a line in the sand about.

1. Oats. It was already tough enough to find out that some oatmeals contain traces of wheat. But I finally dug deep and spent three times as much as I normally would on oatmeal, for me to go back and find out to eliminate it completely from my diet? AND to substitute eggs or lunch items for breakfast? Sorry, dude. You're not getting that out of me.

2. Candies. I love me some dark chocolate. Sometimes a few squares are all I need to get me through the rest of the day when a hankering for something sweet hits. Next.

3. Limit your fruits to 2 a day. Hrm. Its not that I go bananas (no pun intended) on fruit all the time. Some days I do, because of Weight Watchers, because I want something and I'm running out (or have completely ran out) of points for the day. Is there a way where I can get two and a possible...?

Most of the other things that were on the list, I could already kind of see just by living on Weight Watchers for a while. Admittedly, seeing that list did let some of the wind out of my sails, but at the same time, and reading other people's posts/comments/feedback about it, they are still able to eat grains (rice, quinoa, etc) and still see a change. Even though its only been three days for me, I've had rice and quinoa, on the same day (one cup, each, because of WW points) and still felt like a rockstar.  So I guess, all in all, its a situation of trial and error-- to see what works and what doesn't. But if anything else, how I feel now and how I'm sleeping is so much better than just a few days ago.
