Good Weight Loss Advice

Being sick is a great way to lose weight.

I say this because after recovering from some kind of influenza/stomach virus/make your poo weird colors thing this week, I've dropped about four or five pounds. Not only did I not eat dinner last Wednesday, I wasn't even hungry enough to want to, and I didn't experience any ill effects of famishment the following day. Aside from being really dehydrated on Friday (or was it Thursday?), I'm really wondering if loss of appetite is some sort of wonderful superpower.

Of course, I'm feeling much better today than a week ago, and I put away about a metric ton of sushi last night at Becky's dinner with no ill effects (and possibly some mild weight gain), so this is probably temporary. Nonetheless, I think everyone should probably try to get their entire digestive tract to die a painful, horrible death before bikini season starts. (You have plenty of time, folks: it's the second week of April and there is honest-to-God snow outside right now in Cleveland.)
