Pasta Queen, a fellow diet blogger who has lost an incredible 190 pounds and kept it off, posted a blog about vampire eating. I love her description of it:
"I've partaken in vampire eating habits more frequently recently. My cravings play nice during the day and bare their fangs at night."
The phrase caught my eye for two reasons. First, I noticed it because I have vampires on my mind since I am designing Twilight stuff for my shop. Second, it caught my attention because I can completely relate to it! Evenings are the worst for me! Sometimes I'll even eat stuff I'm not particularly fond of because I suddenly feel so hungry, even though, rationally, I know it's not true hunger I am feeling.

Twilight
I have read the Twilight book series, and I took my daughter Kayla to see the movie yesterday.
Isn't fantasy great? I'd love Edward's abilities. To run without getting tired, winded or sweaty? Definitely a great thing! But then, he wouldn't need to run for exercise anyway as becoming a vampire makes you extra beautiful. Does that mean my fat would just melt away as soon as I turned into a vampire? Think of the weight lifting levels that could be achieved with that kind of strength!
But that is the world of fantasy. (I mean, really, teenagers who find true love within days of meeting each other?) And to really get my weight to melt off me is going to take (and has taken) a lot of work, will power and sweat. I get tired, winded and sweaty when I exercise. My face gets really red, sweat drips off me, I start breathing heavily, and it's really not a pretty sight to see.
And I have to turn down sweets and other snacks I enjoy sometimes, not because I am a vampire who no longer needs or desires normal food, but because turning it down is what is best for me despite how much I might really crave it.
And it's a good thing that I am not a vampire. Edward abstains from sucking the blood of Bella despite the fact that her blood smells like the greatest, tastiest thing ever to him. Me? If I was a vampire and a guy smelled as tasty to me as chocolate or ice cream or even Mexican food, I'd probably take a bite out of him!

On a side note, I have some designs in my shop for Twilight fans. Have a look: http://www.cafepress.com/fyfephotography/6222223 (There are only a few designs there right now, but look back by Friday of next week and there will be many more designs added.)
