Well, 2 weeks of Pizza, gelato, delicious prosciutto, and all manner of Italian delights has by some miracle (which I call walking around for 8-10 hours a day) one pound lighter. So today I'm back on the diet horse, and so ready for it. The one thing I missed in Italy is the variety of vegetables and salads. It just wasn't something they were big on, and so I think this is going to be pretty easy, I just hope my appetite subsides a little, while I was in Italy, I would often come to the table and then with the first whiff from the kitchen realize that I was ravishingly hungry, so much so that my stomach would actually ache with it, and I would often leave the table stuffed to the gills, only to be that same way not four hours later.
Anyways a great trip, but I couldn't live in Italy, it just tastes too good :)

HI THERE` i'm Italian ,i'm going to Italy on vacation very soon! i'm sure you've noticed that in Italy many of them are not over weight! they may eat but they WALK everywhere. When my family from Italy comes to visit us in Canada they tell us that we eat like pigs!! lol and that we have taken Italian foods to a totally different level!! My cousin's in Italy don't eat ice cream/ pasta etc... everyday! actually i'm the complete opposite I wish I lived in Italy! I defiantly would be slim, I would be on the beach the majority of the year! lol

Oh, my experience differed, I would say that most women aren't overweight, but most men are. The natives didn't really do that much for exercise, because I don't think sun tanning and a siesta count. As for walking, nope, Vespa's. Arguably I saw only a limited subset of people.
I would say that the attitude towards body image was different, overweight individuals donned there speedo's with impunity. It was also par for the course to openly ogle, and verbally admire anyone whom they were attracted too. Just a different style of life there.
