If you know me very well you know that I don't love vegetables. I will eat them because I know they are good for me but I never think to myself, "Gee, I'd really like some (insert vegetable here)." My thinking is more along the lines of "Pizza, yeah, that has tomatoes on it. I don't think we need a vegetable to go with pizza!"
Fruit? Now fruit is a different story. I have no problem consuming inappropriately large amounts of fruit!
After finding out that I couldn't have gluten or dairy, I decided I should really try to eat more vegetables. Ok, maybe I didn't decide that I needed more vegetables, but it was something I could eat so instead of limiting myself even further I thought I should try to consume more vegetables. Oh, and by consuming them it also meant consuming large amounts of hummus and salad dressing to wash them down. Whatever it takes, right?
Now that we are in Bangalore I've fallen into my old habits and have not eaten many vegetables. And, for the past week I've been actually craving them. (My Mom is never going to believe that I was actually hungry for vegetables!)
On Friday I went out for lunch and ordered a salad. It was a bit smaller than I would have liked but it was delicious! It even came with red peppers, tomatoes, and onions on it. Oh, and it was real lettuce, not just iceberg lettuce.
About an hour after lunch I became sick. Really sick. Laying on the bathroom floor sick. Hardly getting out of bed sick.
I've been taking Cipro for more than 24 hours and am hoping that it's going to kick in soon. In more than 24 hours my main sustenance has been Sprite.
What I know is that I likely won't be craving vegetables, especially salad, anytime soon!
See, I knew vegetables were bad for me!
