Go Flu Diet!

I had a terrrrible case of the flu on Tuesday, and since then I have lost 10 lbs! That's craziness right there, considering I had lost all of my water weight from previous weight loss efforts. It is now Thursday and the scale hasn't gone up at all, which leads me to believe that if I continue on my weight loss track, I will just keep going down from here. What's more, it brought me well below my next goal which is rad.

Flu Cons:

Vomiting

Diarrhea

Headaches

Sore Muscles

No Lovins from the Lover

Flu Pros:

Insane weight loss

Two days off work during which I do nothing but watch movies

Obviously the pros outweigh the cons...

Of course this isn't a diet I wish to continue, and certainly not one I would ever plan for, but heck, while it's here I might as well shed a few lbs!

Michele: Remember the prom? You got so thin by then.
Romy: Oh, I know. I was so lucky getting mono. That was like the best diet ever.

sorry the comparison was just too good to pass up :)

No no, don't appologize Iggy. I was 73% sarcastic, 27% sincere...

I'll be right over to lick your spoon. Heh, just kiddin. Flu sucks!

Emily: I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.

I'm sorry you're sick but glad that you're getting some silver lining.  I once got stomach flu (couldn't keep anything down for a week), then a couple weeks later got sick again with double ear infections so bad i couldn't swallow for a week (it was less painful to be hungry).  Would not recommend, but I lost 15 pounds!

Hmmm Ear Infection... never thought of that... I think I will recover from the flu before I look for my new direction...

I had mono.  For seven months.  I gained 20 pounds.  :\

I once thought I had mono for an entire year. It turned out I was just really bored.

one of my favorite movies amethystgirl!

I'm on the flu diet this week too..(think it's finally over). wouldn't recommend it but the pro's were catching up on sleep, getting yelled at by my hubby for trying to work (i freelance from home), and the extra weight I've lost.  Was trying to behave and not weigh in daily but that's just a habit I can't break.  Made it 5days of not weighing but watched another 5# drop off this week for 11# in 9 days.
