The only benefit of being sick

May 5, 2009 by Tricia

Sorry I haven’t been writing much lately. As usual my Crohn’s has really been acting up. I got some kind of bug last week … kind of flu like, but not the dreaded Swine Flu (I’m fairly certain) and since my immune systems on hyper response due to the Crohn’s I tend to be sick longer from colds, flu’s and other bugs when I get them.

The only good thing about being so sick last week and well, for most of the year is that the few extra pounds that I’ve gained from not being active enough due to illness have literally fallen off! No need for Fenphedra pills or anything like it! I’ll be in fine bathing suit and shorts form by June if I can feel a little bit better and get a little exercise to tone up!

I just hope that I do feel better soon and stop losing weight. Back in 2001 I dropped 40 lb that I didn’t need to lose in a month! I was way too thin and that’s not good either. Damn Crohn’s.

Do you ever lose weight rapidly when you get sick?

    ha ha ha. I’m sure those “heavyweights” there will never dreamed of being sick just to shed some weights (lol). By the way, mere worrying is also a great way to tone down weight…but I will not recommend this either. How about doing some backpacking traveling? Trekking hilly places, strolling with your love ones may sound so interesting…or shall we say in plain words -> exercise daily is enough.

    another benefit of being sick is that not only you’ll be at rest, even the organs inside your body will be at rest… so,after recovering from sickness, you’ll get a fresh energy….
