I’m mostly gluten-free. I’ve lost 10 lbs, and I feel less bloated and gassy! There are still small exceptions that I make (mostly tortillas for wraps and cookies), but that won’t be forever. I still feel it when I make those exceptions though, so I need to stop!

I’ve had some struggles, but right now a lot of positive changes are taking place! I’m getting back in school and getting rid of my shitty job in favor of my good job!

True financial independence may not be found for a while, but you never know!
