FULL NEST SYNDROME: Weight loss method discovered By Marilyn Loy turner I think I've found the perfect temporary weight-loss solution. I say temporary because it only lasts about ten days a year. What am I talking about? The huge annual yard sales, of course! See, when the 127 yard sale hits, I rise early, too excited to think about breakfast. I already burned extra calories the night before tossing and turning all over the bed in anticipation of the grand event. I stop and start my car a hundred times per square mile. Oh, the steering, the backing, the maneuvering of the big car in the small drive ways. Now that consumes major calories. I get out, stroll around in the hot sun, (sweating is good for water-loss). I handle this item and that, run my mouth with other bargain-hungry folks before racing back to my automobile. Give me five days of that in a row and I give you weight-loss. Who has time to woof down pancakes when they're checking out handbags? Why stop for lunch waiting in line for a burger when you could be examining Beanie Babies across the state line? Good cold water is all you need. Lots of it. An occasional lemonade from a cute freckled kid at a stand is acceptable. It doesn't hurt to pay respect to the exercise equipment for sale that is always available in someone's back yard. Sure, they meant to use it, but it collected dust while they collected pounds. I can personally relate. Another idea is to weigh on the scales that someone will set out to sell. Dragging your purchases to the car is always welcome exercise to lazy muscles. How to get the stuff over the front seat and lodged into the back of the vehicle is a workout in itself. Holding the trunk open for hours while a member of your family packs bargains on top of bargains will increase the bulk of your deltoids. The best yard sale weight-loss techinque is when you have to run so fast from your spouse who is about to kill you for spending so much cash on so much junk. Yes, I think I've found the perfect solution to temporary weight-loss. Now with the addition of the 400 mile sales on highways 68 and 80 each year in June, my diet business is sure to pick up.
