And I have mixed feelings, because I think it is really really important to know that many women, even those who are thin, feel bad about their bodies. But on the other hand, sometimes I think "oh god, if she looks like that and thinks she's too soft/jiggly/huge/etc, I must be DISGUSTING" and then other times I just figure she has serious body image problems she needs to deal with. We're all just trying to figure it out, I guess. @ Jenn, I often have the exact same thought when I read this blog, because clearly she is not someone who is anywhere near overweight.

The whole way through I was thinking of that old Louis Prima song 'Banana Split for my Baby'. You should give it a listen some time. I really love it because there's no food guilt in it at all- it says "serve my gal a mess of calories" but like that's just a descriptor, a good thing. The whole song lists the things she likes best that he should remember to put in it, in ridiculous quantities just because she loves them. Best line- "give her two spoons, she'll eat it with both hands"! The first listen I thought it was some weird thing about only girls liking desert because the singer orders "a glass of plain water for me" but the punchline is that he's out of money! I just can't imagine a song being that food positive today. Sorry if that was off-topic a bit, I just wanted to share x x Thinking about it, a lot of of 30s era swing songs are about food. Maybe that's why I like them so much! Yay for this post. The whole way through I was thinking of that old Louis Prima song ‘Banana Split for my Baby’. You should give it a listen some time.

In conclusion, eat ice cream. Enjoy ice cream. For me. For yourself.

It's a vacation like you said, not temptation island where you can only look but never touch! I've been trying to lose the weight I gained since I graduated university (30lbs in the last year) and today my mom asked me how the weight loss was going. I just grunted and continued flipping through my phone. She started to lecture me on calories in vs calories out then left. Tonight she made Shortbread cookies, Rhubarb dessert, and Chocolate chip macaroons. I took a macaroon while she was on the phone and I ate it while I read this entry. That macaroon was the most delicious thing I've eaten in weeks. I do not feel guilty about it thanks to you! PS: you look fantastic in your pictures! Let loose and enjoy yourself! Go Icecream sundaes!! I love that you ate icecream and doughnuts on your trip. It’s a vacation like you said, not temptation island where you can only look but never touch!

Chocolate chip banana cake drenched in chocolate frosting. I also chopped up his favorite corn chip/chocolate candy and piled on top so that the candy stuck to the frosting. Two little 4 or 5-inch-across cakes, one for each of us. We ate every single bite. So good! My most recent delicious, decadent thing is the cake I made for my boyfriends’ birthday this week.

But try and enjoy yourself. I've never worn a bikini, because the lightest I can remember being is 200 lbs (I'm 5'6") and I'm almost 270 lbs now. You have no idea how lucky you are.
