Life has been relatively good. When I felt bad this month, it was really bad, but when anything good happened, I got big boosts and I've felt so much better. Happier, more involved and then I'd crash because one night I stayed up a little late. Okay, so maybe it was more than that, but that was the last straw in my crash.
In the middle there, when I felt great, I really felt great. Mom even mentioned that I had been dancing around the kitchen. I used to dance a lot, so that always means that I feel good =D. I've also been trying out new things, and thinking about my clothes again. Everything had been good, and in a few days, I'll be there again!
About the whole crashing thing, I'm pretty sure it's based on growth. My body just gets thrown off with the change. I want to be tall, but I don't like this part of it all... Anyways, I think that I finally may be becoming normalish, hopefully as soon as the whole growth aspect is finished, I will be as good as new =D!
Food-wise, everything has been really good. Mom has been making lots of baked goods, all of which I have forgotten to photograph... They've all been really good. Also, I have noticed that in the stores, they are prepping for Passover. While I am not Jewish, I'm excited for this because a lot of it is gluten free!! We bought a few things, so I'll have to let you know how they are =D.

Hi Lauren,
Welcome back! glad to hear you're feeling better, and I'm sorry to hear the last while was such a challenge.
One more thing...hopefully you've been working with a doctor and dietitian who know alot about Celiac...many people with CD have low iron, B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium, etc. which can make you feel tired and weaken your body overall. It's extra important to make sure you're on top of those things because you ARE growing, so your needs are higher.
Hi Lauren,
I hope you'll keep growing :-), but not suffer so much in the future. Those were hard days for my son before he was gluten free. Of course, you are gluten free, but growth spurts definitely stress your body.
BTW, I linked to your site when I created my blog a while back, so glad to see you posting!

I love that you were dancing around the kitchen! Everyone should do that now and again. I'm glad there were really good days to balance out the bad.
Wendy - That is exactly what I've been going through! I hope that your daughter is going well =D!
Shirley - Thanks for linking here!! I hope I'll keep growing too, but not too much more =D.
Hey Lauren,
Glad to see you are back to posting. I know how those growth spurts can suck the life out of a girl. My almost 16-year-old turns into a limp, pale, lifeless thing that gets every bug going around at school and then she's an inch taller and we go duh... Growing is hard work for a recovering celiac.
Take care.
