    For real. My body is full of shit! My friends are even surprised at how much unhealthy stuff I eat. The other week I ate a whole friggin box of chocolate within one hour. That sort of activities should be totally illegal. And if I want to keep my boyfriend I should also be somewhat aware of my looks (although the brain is more important, but did you know that it is statistically proven that fat people also are dumber people, and that you brain motors gets slower at the same time as your body fat increases?)

    Anyway, my new week rules are

    - Only 5 chocolate pralines a day!!! (some of you may think it’s a lot, but as I eat about 10 to 15 pralines a day, this is a BIG reduction for me, please understand.

    - Soup for lunch or dinner every day

    - Not buying chocolate cookies anymore (today I finished a box because I felt slightly depressed)

    - Frozen mango cubes, fruits and berries, Läkerol gum, are welcoming desserts…..with a little little bit of cream.

    While everyone is on a strict diet prior to the Fashion Week, I am eating lots of chocolate. I found a very good price on the Wedding Collection from our royal family in Sweden. I ate a whole friggin box… Now I am just happy that I have finished the box so I don’t need to eat anymore….but the problem is that I have three more boxes in my kitchen cupboard. I will TRY my best to stay away…

    The trendiest drink – Ramlösa wild strawberry blanche (that means it comes straight out from the bottle with 0 alcohol haha) Did you know that this Swedish fizzy water brand Ramlösa is really popular in the US right now, from what I have heard. Patrick Bateman (I’m slightly in love with him apart from that he kills people randomly, but that’s another story), rates Ramlösa as “very good”.

    Filled Ovengrilled pork with early potatoes and root vegetables. Trés healthy! Kind of…

    The green herb? It’s lemon balm!

    Screen shot 2010-08-05 at 上午10.38.28If you are a seafood lover I would suggest you to visit the restaurant Stockholm Fisk, there is one in central Stockholm on Vasagatan, and also one in the main airport – Arlanda. I am especially fond of their fish casserole that is full of healthy stuff, not boring at all considered it is casserole…

    Hearty fish & shellfish casserole with chili aîoli & garlic bread, YUMMY!!!!!! On my side you see a Toast Skagen – a mix of fresh prawns, dill & mayonnaise.

    Delicious. I am full just looking at the picture!

    FULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I shouldn’t mention this but Oh My God. Have you ever tried Werther’s Original Caramelts??? They are caramels that melt in your mouth. They are soft instead of the traditional hard ones. They are absolutely amaaaaaaziiiiiing.

    Addictive. Dangerous. Don’t care about the outside world – dangerous.

    Freaky!

    I got mine from Germany, I think they are very hard to find in Sweden and other countries…….thank GOD!
