1.
When you pray that you won't throw up, but you know it's about to happen.
2.
When you get that burn in your chest that won't go away.
3.
When you don't even realize that you've already started throwing up.
4.
When you raise your head back up from the toilet, ashamed but not defeated.
5.
When you leave the restaurant and realize that clams were a mistake.
6.
And then, an hour later, your stomach confirms your suspicions.
7.
When you need to throw up but there aren't any bathrooms or trash cans nearby.
8.
When you feel it rise up to the back of your throat.
9.
When you have no idea why you're throwing up and actually think it's funny in a weird, tragic way.
10.
When you stop thinking it's funny.
11.
When you angry-vomit.
12.
When you know what's about to happen and you get yourself into position like a pro.
13.
When you know you're about to throw up but don't want the people around you to freak out.
14.
When you know you're about to throw up and you just want it to happen already, for the love of God.
15.
And finally, when you're mad at your body for betraying you and getting sick, after everything you've done for it.
