Forget counting calories, grapefruit only diets, pills, exercise, guilting yourself, here's my mommy version of the Hollywood Diet: get a stomach virus and throw in a sinus infection.  This is what I had over the weekend and it was fantastic.  I threw up every hour on the hour for almost two days and I never felt better.  I plan to get sick every weekend from here till Spring to reach my goal weight.  This is definitely the way to go. 

How to do this?  Just kiss a toddler any toddler....if you can catch 'em - they're fast.  Fortunately, I caught my friends toddler on Friday.  Mommy and Me classes are great for picking up illnesses by the way.   A Kindergartner is good for this too.  They're always full of phlegm and for at least six months out of the year have icky, runny noses. 

If your children are older just go to a local playground and befriend the mother of a toddler or Kindergartner.  Now you can't kiss them yet because you just met them.  So when the little tike looks like he or she needs to have their nose wiped offer to do it and say something like, "Don't worry mom, I'll take the bullet."  The fat blasting bullet!  Make sure you throw away your pocket size hand sanitizer before you go.  You need to get serious if you want to fit into that bikini again.....and not the one with the built-in skirt.

What mommy weight loss plans do you follow?  Any good tips on picking up stomach viruses?  Any parks notorious for this in your neighborhood?  Share your secrets.

PS - I think the Hollywood Diet is reading one bad script after another.  Nausea is great for reducing hunger.
