This is
amusingly true for me.
I went to
Italy for a one week college course.
Turns out blonde haired, blue eyed, 18 year old, pale skinned Americans
are a delicacy. I was actually chased
across more than one piazza by Italian men screaming at me, "You have the
most beautiful eyes." Really buddy,
your 100 feet away and moving at a pretty decent clip, how can you even see
them?
Oh, and the
USA running for food. Story of my
life! I LOVE food. Food is there whenever I need it, doesn't
call me at 3am, doesn't forget plans, always remembers my birthday; heck, food
is pretty much the most stable long term relationship I have and it is one of
mutual love and respect. I love it, but
respect that fact that if I don't do something about it, yikes! It loves and respects my back fat which it
creates. Really, who accumulates fat
there? I am the only person I know with
a reverse muffin top. Truthfully.
I refuse to
give up the food I love, I'd be miserable and life for me would go way downhill. It is not worth it. If eating the foods that make me happy means I
weigh 10 pounds more that I might otherwise than I will happily take those 10
pounds and throw them on. However, I do
want to be healthy so to compensate for the eating and to work on the whole
cardiovascular/heart health, I run. I
run a lot. Enough to make most average
people think I am crazy. So I guess this
little info graphic is funnily true for me.
I do run for food and TO food also (6 mile run just to eat at the farmers' market last weekend),
but at least I run.
Wait if the only
two countries I've ever been to, the USA and Italy are true…. Does that mean people in Japan really have to
run from Godzilla?
Nice pic! Makes me giggle! I LOVE food too!
