It’s not my identity
Gluten-free, Dairy-free is not my identity
Do you ever feel that people judge you because of what you don't eat? They consider you to be a fussy eater, or the food thing is all in your head. What you eat becomes who you are for some people, and almost a constant justification is required because you eliminate something from your diet. Even after twenty-five years of being gluten-free, I still get asked if I'm sure. How I eat keeps me healthy, and I love my life, but my choice to live gluten-free isn't who I am. It's not my identity.
If you feel like you need a helping hand on the journey, then reach out and ask for help. Get in contact with your local Coeliac society, a friend or a family member. Oh and that food your missing! Don't miss it! Cook it at home for yourself. Remember we are so much more than the food we don't eat. We are all amazing individuals who live with this every day, but it's not the only thing that we are. We have our own identities. If you have any questions, I'm happy for you to contact me via the form below.
Remember your 100% worth eating healthy for, and we're not missing out on anything because we are happy and healthy and I don't want to live any other way.
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
Emma Alexander-Cook.
