Awww wow! Well, I certainly understand how hard it is mentally to give up the foods we grew up on. I had the HARDEST time with pizza until I figured out how to make it better for me, now it's a treat that I can enjoy without any pain in my stomach. My dad's pizza is incredible though so it is sad for me to think about missing it ;)
