So the next victim of the Wanganui, NZ study abroad program is the lovely Lydia (here's a link to her blog: nibsnewzealand.wordpress.com). Liz met Lydia through F.A.B. at Stout, which is a fashion magazine that Liz photographed for. Then at study abroad orientation, I tried my best to warn Lydia of the trials she will go through. Not that its all terrible, I just wanted her to understand the switch from fast-American life to island-time can be a little shocking. But I tried to tell her about the good stuff too!
Today her facebook post made me giggle a bit, because I could relate.
True dat, Lydia! I ate so much food there! Fish & chips, kebabs, sushi, thai food, etc etc etc!
But! I'm writing this blog post to give you hope. July 5th 2012 I flew back into the US at 166 pounds. This morning I weighed myself at 141.8. It took me thirteen months but I'm feeling pretty good and it IS possible! So go for it, eat that felafel! :)
