Stats after the road trip

So I weighed 241 this morning. Not so bad, considering I just had two weeks of arby's and tastykakes. OOoh, living on the east coast is totally worth it just for the tastykakes alone.

I've been thinking about how much I associate vacations, travel, home, etc., with food. When I first took my now-hubby back to my hometown, it seems like all I wanted to do was eat with him. I wanted to take him to the original Auntie Anne's pretzel place because I went to school with Auntie Anne's daughter. I wanted to go to the pizza place that serves spaghetti pizza. I wanted to go to Sheetz every morning for one of their fresh-baked cinnamon rolls. I wanted to get tastykakes. When we went to philadelphia I wanted to eat a big cheesesteak with him. I wanted to eat eat eat eat eat. He doesn't even like to eat that much.

It's like that when I go to London, too. I need a pret a manger sandwich. I need a cafe nero hot chocolate. I need pizza express. I need a fruit trifle. I need mueller rice pudding. I need to eat eat eat.

Why? Why is a visit somewhere not complete without stuffing my face? Do I really associate food that closely with the places I love?

Food should definitely be an enjoyable part of travel - trying new things, remembering favorite meals of childhood, etc - but to the extent that I do it??

So anyway, that's what I'm thinking about.
