Well. Low iron and raised cholesterol are symptoms of pregnancy.
Every so often, I'll go get Chess's. More often than not its between 2 and 3 a.m.Ah, dude. Is that Ches's? I hope YOU'RE not eating that.One of these, two times daily.

Heart disease runs heavy in my family too. I need to get into better shape, and eat decently. But fast food is so easy, and my job involves a lot of driving ... which brings me to a lot of drive-throughs ...
You can do it! And so can I! The alternative, after all, is fairly grisly ...
What's so fucking hard about preparing meals beforehand?

From my experience and expertise, food you prepare yourself (even greasy fried chicken) is still better for you than fast food or other things chock full of preservatives and funky chemicals. That's not saying one should eat their own fried chicken everyday, but it does in fact set limits on how often one does it it. Look at it this way: It's easy to go to the store and buy some apple pie. Apple pie isn't exactly good for you but it takes about 15 minutes to round trip drive, purchase, and eat said pie. To make a pie yourself takes a full day's effort (actually 2), so it becomes a once in a while treat to indulge in a pie.
The relative ease of being able to get food that's bad for you is what makes American's fatter and unhealthier than the rest of the world. In areas outside the U.S. fast food type places are still not as abundant as in the U.S. In a lot of these regions people still spend a good deal of time preparing their meals.
I always tell my patients with weight disorders to try and cut off what I call 'easy access foods'. I work with whatever nutritionist they get set up with. Generally, these people have problems with two main things (very obvious) in terms of eating healthy. 1. They don't know how to control their portions. 2. They generally eat exclusively 'easy reach comfort foods'. Things that are high salt, high fat, high cholesterol, high sugar - McDonalds, TV dinners, microwavable garbage. It's not that it's hard, it's that people get set in routines and those routines are hard to break.
More often than not, American culture is such that we wait until a major event (such as heart attack) occurs to better our habits. I always notice how most of my heart attack patients drop lots of weight and get better blood test scores back after their perpetual 'wake up call'.
Whatever that is, I want to eat it right now.One of these, two times daily.

That is a Chess's one piece platter, with dressing and gravy.
It's one fillet of deep-fried fish (cod) with fries, dressing (like chicken stuffing, but made with savory), and gravy. And it is delicious.
Chess's is a Newfoundland institution, but I've had better fish & chips elsewhere.
That said, you should come for a visit
I don't have any advice, but I wish you luck! You need to be around for Jet. Keep that in mind when you desire the evil fast food.
Please take care!

When you're taking care of a young baby it isn't always easy. Once they are finally asleep for an hour or two, usually the last thing on your mind is preparing meals ahead of time.
