Well like most of you guys im italian too...work with a whole bunch of italians too...so if you think its not hard think twice...dont have to be in italian when you come from an italian family to find LC hard...but thats where the italian character kicks in...pig head...so you try hard hard hard to say NO dont want that dont need that...yeah ok easier said then done...in italy they arent all overweight...alot especially the new generations are very good looking and slim...they walk everywhere in italy...not worth taking your car out and its all hills...so you can be careful if you have a will...another advantage tons of fresh food...so thats good too...dont forget, italian food is the basic of all international dish...im sure even the italians not living in italy eats fresh cause you were brought up like that or you got caught in the american wave all fast, boxed, frozen etc...so we're all in the same boat and lets all hang in there...
