Thanks all for the encouraging words. I feel a little better about it already. I love to eat and I love to share what I make (food is love in my household) and it's hard how they reacted. I am glad to see that I am not alone in this too. My mom has also started Paleo and she's been a huge support for me (she's not celiac though).

GLC - yes, they are from the Make It Paleo book. I've made a ton of recipes from there and I am never disappointed. I made the Smoked Paprika Chicken Thighs last night and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. So good. I also have Paleo Comfort Foods which is great, especially their side dishes.

And as far as the sugar thing - I think that was part of it too. I had a bit of dark chocolate last night and the 70% was too sweet. 80% is about right. I didn't think that your sensitivity to sugar would change, but things I used to find not sweet enough are overly sweet to me now. It's why I snack on cherry tomatoes and find them as sweet as some fruits.

Thanks again everyone, I sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart appreciate your words.
