Holidays Thoughts!

If you're on holiday right now and the only thing you can think of includes the word fat, you're a dick! If you're on a sunny and warm place and you are constantly thinking on how fat you're going to be by the end of it, you're a dick. Basically you’re a dick if, the only thought in your head includes getting fat, choosing the healthy option instead of a tasty and more traditional one (just because you want to maintain the waste line and not because you are craving it), and getting yourself burn in the sun just because you want a stupid tan!

In Scotland the weather is crap, let's not even kid ourselves, the summer doesn't really exist and the winter is bloody long and dark. Sometimes I do wonder why I'm still living here, but what Scotland's lack in good weather they have it in plenty on cool and nice people, and maybe that's why I'm still here, I guess! 

So when I go on holidays I search and crave for sun and warmth. I want to experience in it's fullness and be completely overwhelmed by the vibe of the place I'm visiting, however, the first thing I hear people say after their holidays is how big they are, or how big they're going to be by the end of it! It makes me annoyed and sad because this seems to be the norm nowadays. We are bombarded by a bunch of stupid and everyone-knows-it tips to stay in control during your holidays, that includes drinking water (standard especially if you're in a hot climate, you need to stay hydrated), eating locally, oh yes, choose the healthiest option on the menu, and so on!

We hunt for tips and techniques to be "good" while on holidays, we crave all the ice cream in the world, but we try our best to supress it, we overly exercise before it all happens, and after it all happened, we blame our body, our mind, and ourselves. We compare, and by the end of it, we forget to have fun, enjoy and be happy. We forget to accept our body and ignore all the stupid trends, comparisons, and most importantly, we forget to be kind and grateful.

So my advise to you this summer/holidays and, probably for next summer/holidays is please, whatever you do, don't be a fucking dick, and enjoy your free time! Stop your moaning and except and enjoy your privilege. Eat whatever you want, when you want and please, stop telling everyone you are fat and you need to exercise, just stop, and be kind to yourself. 

Cheers!!
