So Ive been here nearly 2 years and gained about 5lbs a year.
Im aging but I still workout plenty and switching more meals to salad and healthy stuff.
But the food here is so damn good. Like the sheer quality of low/mid priced and even mid-high is just infuriatingly delicious.
Everyday I chew on lettuce Im like theres this insatiably good ramen, burger, yakitori, curry, etc place nearby Im missing out on.
How the hell do Japanese people stay so thin while theres so much good food around?
Im sure not everyone works out or has a high self control to avoid good food 90% of time; especially the people who cant work remotely and cook at home
But there should be tons of beachball sized people just gorging themselves on the wonderful gourmet from near every place on earth here.
Edit: answer is eat less and walk more. I work remotely but will try to get out more, and try being mindful of my slowing metabolism in my eating habits. Gym alone isnt enough anymore… also need someone to fat shame me
