The Silver Lining to having the flu . . .

[Laurie]

Losing 8lbs in 2 days! And even better it really helps you stick to your low carb diet because you dont want to stick solid protein into your body! And you definitely don't feel like sweets or carbs lol!

Bring it on flu! Bring it on!

Hmmm... I guess this is an optimistic way to look at it... lol. Get well soon, though.

LOL I feel the same way about pnumonia. I can take my jeans off now without unbuttoning them LOL

So what you're saying is I need to have someone cough on me LOL?...It's a thought...though my son had a stomach virus today so I have that to look forward to maybe .

 

[Sandi]

LOL Laurie! This reminds me of "Emily" from the Devil Wears Prada where she says "I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight".

Laurie--Hope you feel better! Congrats on the weight loss though.

JM--i absolutely hate the stomach virus......i fear it every winter!

Sandi--i love that part in that movie!!

 

[Laurie]

JM don't let anyone cough on you! This flu was horrid! Stew got it on Monday vomitting and fierce diarrhea and for him bloody nose! Then he past it to me and when I say fierce diarrhea I mean FIERCE! Think of acid and you'll know what I mean. I had nothing but chicken and beef broth for 2 days and I was panicking with that lol! I did manage some soft cheese tonight and a bit of sugar free butterscotch pudding. But dang! There should be an easier way to lose some dang weight!

Or try mysterious illness that makes you lose your appetite for a week straight....twice in 4 weeks....I lost 15lbs (sadly I gained much of it back quickly...but my body obviously needed it). I just got my chins in July and two weeks later was hit with this. The docs never found out what was wrong...but it was a heck of a diet! I was so glad when I could eat again!

I got both of my flu shots (H1N1 and seasonal).
I would rather GAIN 8 pounds than have the flu!!!

My bf got both of his but got sick anyways. There are so many different strains of the flu that's it's impossible to be vaccinated against them all. But he was sicker than I could ever imagine.
