Sugar, you sexy little thing

I cry out in sadness, because my life has been flipped upside down. I used to have days when I would literally have dreams about the burgers at Carl's Junior. McDonald's was a weekly stomping ground with their tantalizing 2 cheeseburger meal and big mac with the scintillating secrete sauce. There was never a question that I would always like seconds when it came to hot dogs. And I was always a fan of bologna, even after knowing what all it was made of.

I would scoff and pity the people who loved desserts. Those people seemed foreign in the way they would drool over a cookie or feel tempted by a candy bar. Getting a dessert after a meal seemed like just a waste of money. Sugar and chocolate held no appeal to me... until two weeks ago.

Dang pregnancy has caused my walls to crumble around me. The sweet lure of chocolate and sugar tugs at my taste buds. I sneak around like a secrete ninja just to raid a twix bar from my co-workers candy jar. I actually join Kevin on his search for a dessert after dinner, instead of mocking his dependence on sweets. I spend my preciously saved nickles and dimes to splurge on a sweet mug root beer in the afternoon. Even this morning, I did the unthinkable and broke into our Halloween candy early to eat skittles at 10 in the morning. Ahhh!! What have I become?

I can only hope and pray that this is just a pregnancy craving phase, and not that my meat loving taste buds have left me for good. Oh meat, I do still love you, but you just aren't the number one food group on my mind! Is this adultery of the heart?

Tell me, what is the food item that weakens your knees and leaves you helpless to do nothing else but eat it?
