All I did is sniff was sniff and I gained 5 lbs

I would like to know why she said "All I did is sniff was sniff and I gained 5 lbs"

If she gained 5 lbs, I wonder how she can gain 5 lbs even though she only sniffed.

Email Removed"> Email Removed I wonder how she can gain 5 lbs even though she only sniffed. It is a humorous fancy or exaggeration, emphasising the extremely fattening nature of the doughnuts or the propensity of the speaker to put on weight. It is not supposed to be something that could literally happen.
