lunch bags for men uk image
The Merovi
I've been on a date with some larger women. They tend to pick at their food and not consume much. I've seen huge women at work eating salads, cucumbers, cottage cheese in the lunch room. They don't become large or maintain a large size by eating salads, cottage cheese, or picking at their food. When do they eat?
If you think this is sexist, when I see large men eating in social environments or at the work lunch room, they eat hefty portions (and not salads). Thus, large food consumption leads to large men.
Answer
They probably eat in secret. Although my Mother is quite large and doesn't eat much. I should know because we hardly ever had food in the house and I was around her nearly all the time as a young kid. Unless she did something I didn't know about.
She enjoyed her beer, so that could have been it. But even before she began drinking a lot she was a UK size 16 (US 12) which isn't HUGE but it's not slim.
I think that she does genuinely have a crappy metabolic rate because I struggle to be as skinny as a lot of other girls and I have her genes, yet I eat around 1,500 cals a day roughly and I have to count it otherwise I do become overweight. I am a UK 10/12 (US 6/8) which is by all means not fat but most girls would be a bag of bones eating what I eat.

Travel suggestions for teens?

We are four 18-year-olds who want to go to the UK and Ireland next summer. We don't want to spend a lot of money. What are suggestions about travel spots, hostels, eating out, airfare, etc? Anything is helpful, including websites. Thank you!
We are paying for all of this ourselves, not with "rich yuppie parents." Tips on being thrifty are especially appreciated.

Good for you! I lived in the Ireland and Scotland for a year and a half, living and traveling on a budget- you'll have a great time...
Travel spots/ideas: most British Isles cities are very walkable and I highly recommend just strolling around and seeing where your feet take you. Most museums are free. The Guinness brewery is hokey but fun. Kilmainham Prison in Dublin is poignant if you're at all interested in history. Newgrange- bus from Dublin. Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary. Emigration museum and St Colman's Cathedral in Cobh, County Cork. Traditional music sessions at An Spailpin Fanach on Main Street in Cork City. Boat trip out to the Aran Islands. Civil Rights museum in Derry. Giant's Causeway on Antrim coast (bus tours out of Belfast and Derry). Dingle Peninsula. Real Mary King's Close in Edinburgh (subterranean tour of historic Edinburgh conducted by period actors). Ghost Tours (including Greyfriars Cemetery where a section has been fenced and chained off by the government due to 'supernatural attacks'). Edinburgh Castle (I've always managed to go on free days, but probably worth the money, unlike the tower of london). Holyrood Park. Fudge shops on Edinburgh's Royal Mile :) Ceili dances at the University of Edinburgh's Pollock residence halls. Canterbury and Stonehenge are easy day trips out of London by train and bus, respectively. Long weekend trip to the highlands booked with Haggis Adventures on the Royal Mile was pretty good.
Accommodation: through hostelbookers.com and hostelworld.com you can book ahead for rooms from ultra-cheap dorm style to budget hotels with amenities. They rate properties for cleanliness, security, location, etc and many have maps. My recommendations: Marlborough Hostel and Abraham House in Dublin, Sleepzone in Galway, Derry City Independent Hostel in Derry, Budget Backpackers in Edinburgh. Kirary Guesthouse in Dingle - also organizes tours of the peninsula.
Check on railpasses. http://www.railpass.com/GContent/BRPE/Others-Rail_Travel_Guide#faq1 helps you decide which one is best. I mostly traveled by bus, however, which was cheaper and in some cases not much slower. And there are places in Ireland that the train doesn't go.
Eating out? I was generally too cheap for that :) go with picnic lunches and self catering if possible. Pub grub is the quintessential British Isles culinary experience... that and curry. The 'classic burger' at the Auld Hoose on Saint Leonards Street in Edinburgh will keep you full for a few days (and they have a great pub quiz on Tuesday nights). Drinking age in Ireland is 18.... I THINK it's the same in the UK. Again, my old local in Cork, an Spailpin Fanach is highly recommended as a drinking/ cultural activities location. In Cork city: see if the donut man is still there outside the Tesco grocery store on st Paul's street (bag of fresh donuts for a euro) and check out the English Market on Grand Parade.
Airfare: try budget carriers between Ireland and the UK. Ryanair is scary but I've been pretty pleased with Easyjet. To get there, try flying via Iceland.... was just looking up fares for my next trip over and the ticket via Reykjavik is a third of the cost as the direct flight.
