I recall, for my birthday last year, my mother took me clothes shopping for a gift (salvation army!), and afterward we stopped for pizza. It was a greasy bacon and roasted red pepper pizza. We also shared an order of onion rings as an appetizer. When I returned home I tried all the clothes on (I don't like to use dressing rooms), and one of the shirts fit, but was a tad too snug. The following day I tried the shirt on again and it fit much looser and rather well actually. I assmumed the pizza and onion rings and whatever salts and such that they were dressed with caused bloating and such hence making the shirt too tight. Also, such food causes me to feel somewhat ill and sluggish afterward, perhaps even the next day. Very yummy at the time, but after it has been digested and allowed to travel thru your system, the physical sensation seems to outweigh the yummines of the pizza.

Though for my birthday this year, mother and I will probably do the same!
