“The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends”

This week I went to Florida, West Palm Beach, on a last minute trip with my sister and her BF. While there we went to Miami for the day to enjoy the beach and the buzz on 'SOBE'. Seeing as how this is where all the celebs go and the Jersey Shore crew, youd assume that things there would be very pretentious in a trendy way. When we were on the beach there were alot of ladies with no tops on. We talked about how we could never do that, ha for god sakes we were afraid of how we looked carrying a cooler and chairs to the beach because we werent sure if people in Miami did this. To be honest though everyone there is a tourist anyway, and its actually kind of ghetto. Alot of Florida is kind of ghetto actually.
It wasnt exactly what i expected, but nonetheless it was very nice and enjoyable. We went into a starbucks and I practiced my order at least 5 times in my head before telling the lady. Seeing as how this was Miami I figured the accuracy of ordering coffee correctly was a big thing here, and it's best to be prepared. Well i was wrong, it was probalby the worst Starbucks order ever, the woman had me repeat it twice and then she told the guy who makes the drinks i wanted 'lots and lots of whip' when i definitely said no whip. She then proceeded to ask me to confirm if i was on vacation or not, implying i should be indulging. No thanks.
I know they say that Canada is right behind the US in weight issues... well i dont know about that.... everyone was overweight by alot in FL! It was pretty bad even the skinny people were at least a little overweight. I wasnt surprised though, all the food portions were huge and very greasy. It really made me appreciate home. I love Montreal.
