Damn you Pizza!!!!!

As I get, ahem, older and wiser, I find that certain foods no longer agree with me. That totally sucks.

First, it was soda. I used to be one of those addicts with the 44oz diet coke in one hand at all times. Then I started having migraines and other, um, problems, so out went the soda. Now if I even have a sip of a soda I am in pain half the day. Totally not worth it. Can I just say that the variety of non-sugared, non-soda beverages is pathetic? I’m reduced to tea and water, and only if non-sugared tea is available which often it is not. Meh. Thank heaven for Trader Joe’s hint of mint.

Then came fast food (greasy french fry and hamburger type). This is not a huge tragedy, because really that food rarely tastes good, but sometimes it is like 9pm and nothing is open except Jack in the Box, you know? Then I’ll just rationalize “well, once in a while won’t hurt me,” and then I suffer for a day with horrible acid reflux. Bah. Used to be that fried fish was okay, now even that is out the window.

I discovered I couldn’t eat rich food and dessert at the same time, either.

And now…pizza. Sigh. I love pizza, and we don’t have it very often as I like to impart good eating habits on my kids. But, sniff, pizza has now betrayed me. I’m so sad. And so refluxy. Suck suck suck. And just think, I could be having cold pizza for breakfast! No no, organic peanut butter panda puffs for me. I even ditched the coffee this morning, for fear of more tummy trouble.

Stupid pizza.
