I'm a dil!

I decided it was time for me to get into the dating game. 

So recently I began dating again since I got my first flare up.  

And while I would love to post about how that's all going, this post is about how tonight I went against my Crohn's Rules and stuffed things up. 

Things have been going well in terms of this dating *squee!!* and for the most part, my Crohn's haven't gotten in the way. I've been smart about where we go and what we do for dates. 

It's all still very new - we're still in the getting to know you phase, and he doesn't know about my Crohn's. I'm happy to keep that under my belt for now. 

It's nice to feel young again. 
Even though I'm only 22, sometime's Crohn's makes you feel a lot older. 

Tonight we had planned to go out and see a band. He did originally ask me to dinner, but I suggested something else, due to me not feeling comfortable eating out in public - long story! 

But then tonight, Mum prepared a roast for dinner, and even though I thought about skipping it due to the big meal, I ate it. 

It's healthy, and even though it's heavy, I could use a big meal. 

Now my stomach feels like a bowling ball and I had to cancel. 

Cue me cursing my stomach for not being normal and stronger and not being able to handle one dinner! 

I ignored my own Crohn's rule and ate a big dinner before I had to head out. 

I can do one or the other, but both was too much for my body to handle. 
And I can't ignore the warning signs to feeling ill.
Next time I won't put my fate in my stomach. 

However it would be great, to be able to do normal things even just for one night.
