Lose While You Cruise

Newsday's travel writer Marjorie Robins is an inspiration to the rest of us. She did the seemingly impossible: she gained no weight, in fact, she lost a pound, while on a Norwegian Dawn cruise vacation. Her secret? I won't lie: constant deprivation, lots of self pity in the face of other passengers gorging themselves at the ship's non-stop food fests, and, perhaps most importantly, constant vigilance on the part of her buff 22-year-old daughter. Honestly, I don't know whether she had as much fun as the other passengers, but she clearly felt better about herself when they returned home to New York. I gotta tell you, though, reading about all the things she didn't consume -- greasy sausages, Chinese buffet, barbecued ribs, roasted lamb, cheese risotto, crepe souffles, ice cream, chocolate mousse, and "the 2-foot-high strawberry margaritas" -- I'm getting hungry just blogging this!
