who cares about fast food anyway???

So, I had another dr. appointment today. We are about at the 19 week mark... almost half way there. Everything looked good and the heartbeat was very strong at almost 160 bpm!

The bummer of the appointment came when I stepped on the scale - always the dreaded moment. Last night, I even thought about what I should wear today in hopes of avoiding heavy clothes and shoes! Now granted I have only gained 11 pounds so far (which is right on track) but the sad part is when my doctor told me that I need to be more careful from this point on. He said that things I could get away with in the first trimester will not be so kind to me now. I'm translating that to mean a diet of fast food is not in my future. I haven't really been eating too badly but there have been moments of weakness. I'm not sure I have ever baked so much either

I think I could eat the following fast food items on a fairly regular (possibly even daily) but I will refrain:

1. Egg McMuffin (McDonald's)
2. Cheeseburger (McDonald's)
3. Grilled Stufft Burrito and Nachos (Taco Bell)
4. Beef 'N Cheddar and Curly Fries (Arby's)
5. Oreo Blizzard (Dairy Queen)

For those of you feeling disgusted right now, I apologize.

So, I resign for the next 20 weeks to keep in mind that all the weight I gain will at some point need to come off. I will do this for myself and my baby. But in answer to the question in the title of this blog... I care about fast food and I will miss it!
