The Flu - Nature's Way of Kick Starting the New Years Diet Resolution

Seriously, kick starting the diet is the only good thing I can think of about having the damn flu.  Weight loss baby!  I am convinced I jinxed myself by saying to my sister (who was in week four of a nasty cold) "If I get sick I want the bloody flu so I can lose some weight!"  Ask and she shall receive!  So the last week and a half have been full of aches, pains and chills (oh, and my super warm, never wear out of the house, ugly sweater).  Loss of appetite happens to have come with the package so as long as I don't binge eat when I finally start to feel better, this has turned out to be an excellent way to start the New Year's Diet.   However, it is NOT a diet I would recommend.  It sucks.  My head is still foggy and I have this overwhelming feeling of not giving a shit about anything.  Giving a crap takes too much energy.  All I really want to do is nap.  Nap all day long with my new friend Nyquil.  I now have a new rule of course: "no flu blogging".  It is a necessary evil based on my lack of compassion and head fog.  Until then........ have a cawfee!
