Fat Camp in the Land of Hot Dogs
I have found it: a fat camp in the land of hot dogs. Was I fat? I didn't think so. Have I lost weight? I didn't think so, but at least four people have commented that I've lost weight while I was gone. (I plan to weigh myself and see what the scale says.)
Hmmm, very odd when my diet consisted of hot dogs and french fries. It has occured to me that it may be physically impossible to live in Amsterdam and be fat. Stairs like you've never seen and transportation of walking or bike riding doesn't allow for big guts. I could only buy groceries that I really needed because anymore meant hauling it up the stairs with 2 kids and a stroller in tow.
Want to eat a bunch of junk and lose weight? I suggest Amsterdam.
BTW, just bought 10 yogurts for $5 in the massive American grocery store. Bulk food! Bulk bellies! Parking lots! Cars! This is America.

Isn't it amazing? I was there for just two weeks, had massive amounts of vlaamse frites and satekroketten and still came back noticeably healthier and lighter. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't indulged in so much junk food.
