Have you ever been nervous before a game, buying a house or before a presentation at work? That is how I felt about eating eggs this morning. Knowing that I was putting something into my body that I could potentially react to or that could have a negative affect on me is completely against my motivation to go through this process in the first place.
How do you change your mind set to be able to accept that in your quest to be more healthy and feel better you could be doing something that will make you feel terrible. The doctor told me that I will know if my body does not agree with the challenge. What is the challenge? Intro one serving of the allergic food three times in one day and the following three days do not eat that food. If I don’t react then that food is ok to bring back into my diet slowly. It is scary for two reasons: 1. I could react to something I totally love. 2. I don’t react to anything at all and then what was the purpose of this whole thing!
