A bold, but probably unwise decision

So, for the past several weeks now my morning sickness has prevented me from eating anything really good. I’ve been on a really bland diet of foods, nothing fried, spicy, or otherwise delicious. This is both because my nausea is out of control and really prevents me from eating much, and also because if eat anything even remotely spicy, I suffer the wrath of killer heartburn. I can’t even eat any fruit or drink any fruit juices, AT ALL. This is difficult for me, since I absolutely love orange juice and used to be able to chug the stuff.

So, today I was feeling partucilarly human, and began fantasizing about all of the yumming foods that I could potentially pick up while in town. I decided while driving, that a cheeseburger sounded really good. I got a single steakburger with cheese at Steak n’ Shake, and had a jr. Sprite as well. It tasted really, really good. I should have left well enough alone, and moved on with my day, but I still didn’t feel satisfied and the thought of FRIED SHRIMP kept entering my mind. Yeah, I know. Next thing I know, as if I am some kind of dazed food addict, I am pulling through Long John Silver’s and ordering six fried shrimp. I ate five of them, and they were delicious.

It’s been a couple of hours since my binge, and I still feel pretty good. I really hope I don’t regret this later! It’s about time that I was able to get my eat on, because so far, pregnancy has not been good to me.
