holiday weight loss tips

for any of you who may have gained a little holiday weight, i have just the trick for you!

a week long stomach flu (probably rotavirus)!!!!!!!!

works great on adults, even if you get a milder case like johne did, you will still loose weight because you really don't want to eat for a week. the violent cases work the best. you get a nice colon cleanse and it clears everything out of your system. no need to pay the big bucks like the hollywood stars do!

how to get it: well, i don't think we are contagious anymore so you will probably have to go to cali to get it. although we could have infected some poor souls on our flight home!

WARNING ***NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILRDREN***

as emily the first assistant on the devil wears prada says, "I'm just a stomach flu away from my goal weight!"
