sick

Well, since my last post, things have backfired a little bit. While my passion for junk food remains intact, it appears that my strategy for consuming said junk food was rather lacking. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I ate virtually nothing but sugar, and this did quite a number on my immune system, which then decided to take a week off. I have spent the last week encouraging it to come back. I really didn't mean to offend it- I mean, if it wanted some protein or vitamins so badly, couldn't it just have written me a note? It just seems like retaliating with such a vicious cold and flu virus is a bit drastic. There's no need to overreact, I was planning on eating some bran cereal for breakfast on Tuesday, really I was. Okay, fine, perhaps my body was trying to tell me with the shaky hands and slightly ill feeling that I really didn't need the fourth cupcake or the second package of sugar babies, and I'll be honest, I didn't listen. I'm just saying I'd appreciate it if our bodies could come up with a more straightforward way of warning us that we're about to become sick. A nice note, or a phone call, or maybe a little bell that goes off when it's time to scale back. What I'm trying to say here is "Immune system, please come back. Let's work on this. Maybe over a bowl of bran cereal?"
