Before I came here, I thought I should probably lose some weight so that I could eat extra while I was here. Never did I think that it might be possible to actually lose weight while in Europe. I don't know if I'm losing weight or not, but my stomach at least seems smaller and I feel like I'm eating a lot less.
Reasons that it is hard to eat in Europe:
1. There isn't that much food in my room. Well that has changed a bit since I bought a loaf of bread today. (Which was quite exciting - it was only 1.09E=~$1.40? And it was not prepackaged or sliced, but there's a slicing machine there!! All you do is stick the loaf in the machine, press a button, and it comes out sliced!!)
2. I have to walk like 6 minutes to get to a sandwich place, and 10 minutes to get to the grocery store. Between my room and outside there are many doors, all with their own separate locks.
3. For the most part, I would say food is more expensive! Plus I am using my own money versus my parents' credit card cause credit cards have a lot of extra fees over here. Plus who knows where they take credit cards and where they don't??
4. I haven't been as hungry as usual, maybe I'm still jetlagged or too distracted by everything to pay enough attention to actually eating. Don't worry I'm sure I'll be my ravenous self by next week!
The food is reallllly good though of course and also I feel like it's higher quality! I had a Belgian waffle today. It was sweeet and yummy. And cheap! 3 little ones for 1.50E=~$1.95
I took a few pictures today and will post them soon. Tot ziens!

maybe you can survive solely off of the factory chocolate?
