Finding frustration with food

I have spent the last few months frustrated. The weight loss is just not happening despite eating healthy at least 80% of the time and exercising regularly. I have recently been reading the Primal Blueprint and trying to implement his principles. He advocates clean foods as does The Eat Clean Diet, but he eliminates grains and limited dairy. I stumbled upon his blog and book trying to find recipes for gluten free, dairy free. I have been told several times that it appears I am intolerant to gluten and possibly dairy. Well I eliminated gluten and it is in fact a trigger for me and liquid dairy appears to be as well. I am still out on cheese as I have just been sticking to goat cheese. I wish I could say I have stuck to his eating style 100%, but I haven't. Regardless of gluten and dairy making me feel like crap I keep eating them. It is only a little on weekends, but alas it is still there. I still am not losing any weight and can't help but think it is these dang little cheats that are causing it. I will get down a few pounds and then put them right back on the weekend after a cheat. So I seem to KNOW what my problem is now if I could just knock it off. It is so hard when the family wants to go out to eat and all my favorite foods are there. I think I won't feel THAT bad and have a small amount. I don't feel horrible and I guess that's why I keep doing it, but than I get on the scale and ARGH!! Summer is really hard because we bbq a lot and while having a burger without the bun doesn't bother me I really love pasta salads. Oh and smores! So this is really just a rant and trying to get my thoughts out there.

Batty's Blueberry Butter Balls w/ Coconut

this is a fun and tasty way to get your fat on. beware, these are addictive, and should only be consumed in moderation.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, unsalted
1/2 cup blueberries
2 egg yolks
3 T shredded coconut, unsweetened
1T vanilla

DIRECTIONS:
let the butter sit out until soft. puree your blueberries in a food processor. if they are frozen, defrost them first otherwise they'll give you all kinds of issues when you mix them in with the butter. in a medium mixing bowl, add egg yolk, butter, vanilla, and blueberries. use a hand mixer to combine everything until fluffy and peak-y.

you *can*, if you want, add some honey, but it is absolutely not necessary if you have good quality blueberries and vanilla. you can probably add a dash or two more vanilla, too, to taste.

fold in the coconut until well combined. stick the entire bowl in the fridge and let sit for 45 mins to an hour. you want the mixture pretty solid.

take the mixture out and form into one inch balls. roll in extra shredded coconut to coat.

store in an airtight container in the fridge, otherwise they'll get all melty on warm days.

VARIATIONS:
these are awesome as is, but you can also add ground almonds, walnuts, shredded dried figs, etc, for added texture and flavor. i didn't because i am avoiding that stuff

enjoy!
