At an eating establishment near Atlanta, Georgia they serve a massive 6lb burger in a bun. There it is above. If you eat the entire plateful you don't have to pay. The woman in the picture - Molly Schuyler- actually managed it even though she is as thin as a rake. I guess that the perspective in that picture is a little deceptive... but just a little.
Six pounds. That is how much weight I have lost in the past ten days. Mostly down to "The Yorkshire Pudding" diet that I explained on Thursday. However, yesterday's dietary diversion may have helped.
On Friday I ate a small bowl of "Ready Brek" for breakfast, a banana for lunch and a vegetable "Cuppa Soup" for tea/dinner/supper with just one slice of buttered toast. You see, I wasn't feeling well.
I am pretty sure that I had a bad reaction to my first doxazosin tablet - an alpha blocker that is designed to increase blood flow somehow and decrease high blood pressure. Well that little white pill knocked me for six.
Just before midnight on Thursday my tummy started to rumble. It was as if diarrhoea was brewing and I needed to release the internal pressure. However, it wasn't that simple.
At one o'clock I looked in the bathroom mirror and I was shocked by my ghostliness. All the colour had drained away from my face. I had become a church candle version of myself.
It must have been around two o'clock that I fainted for the first time in my adult life. Fortunately, I did not injure myself. I woke up lying between the downstairs shower room and the adjacent corridor wondering what the hell I was doing on the floor.
After five minutes, I pulled myself up. Still Ghost Pudding was staring back at me from the mirror. I will not go into detail about the toilet bowl contents but let's just say the colour was alarmimgly bright red.
I got an appointment with a doctor yesterday afternoon. She was keen to eliminate other possibilities but if this wasn't to do with the doxazosin then my name is SpongeBob Squarepants. It's now 48 hours since I took that tablet and my body has still not returned to normal. Oh woe is me!
