"Nic has sampled, thanks to the fine introductory services of Kevin 'The Enabler' D___, possibly the finest apple pie in Amsterdam. If not the world!"
What a way to celebrate nine pounds down! It feels like this is the way forward, with no holds barred on the congratulatory foodstuffs (up to a point, anyway!!) Any why not? I am not the type of person that agrees with the need to withhold certain things for the sake of betterment, when said betterment is made worse when you spend all your time pining for the things you're withholding from yourself in the first place.
I'm pretty sure that's why diets don't work in the long term for a lot of people. Our heads get in the way. I'm also pretty sure the brain is there to torment us, and in our hour of need it strips us of will-power and instead shows us pictures of cake, flickering against the projection screen of our sugar-craving imagination.
So I say YAY to cake, in moderation. Well, truth be told, I'd prefer to say YAY to cake in massive quantities, all day and every day, but taking it to those extremes one really would have to decide between cake or death. (The plagiarising of Eddy Izzard being an added bonus.) So a little cake goes a long way, and to continue a motion metaphor, this is a marathon and not a sprint, so I'm rather happy to have cake along for the journey. I'm a great believer that a happy head makes a healthy body in the long run.
And I can't end this post without using a sticky finger to point out the wonders that is Winkel 43 in Amsterdam. Their apple pie truly is of an exemplary nature.~
