The Snot Diet

All you need is one virus, lasting approximately 2 weeks with a copious amount of snot. That's it. Individual results may vary, but with taste buds covered and totally out of commission, I have lost 7 lbs and counting. That's with my valentine's day chocolate sitting untouched. Nothing tastes right. I've wondered if perhaps I don't have a cold, maybe it's tuberculous or something. But then I think I know too much and it's not a zebra (what we call a medical mystery. Medical problems that are common are horses, medical problems that are uncommon are zebras). 
And while I am certain I will get no sympathy for my unintended consequence, I am a little upset about the weight loss because I recently found a pair of jeans that I love. And I bought two pairs. And even after washing them on hot water and drying them on heat, they don't fit right now even with a belt. And I'm still sick. Maybe I'll finish the layout tomorrow, sigh. There is always tomorrow, right?

Double bummer...sickness and cute jeans that aren't so cute right this second. Hope you feel better and get back to scrapping soon!

LOL that is a great cartoon!!

I wish I could have lost some weight while I was sick but for some reason where as everyone else gets sick and doesn't eat it is like all I want to do when I am sick. Sorry about the jeans, hope you are feeling better!

Feel better soon! Don't worry, as soon as you start eating again, those jeans will fit! Hope you feel up to scrapping again soon!
