As I was sorting through the photos from our recent visit to Hitachi Kaihin Park, I noticed that my wife was getting plumper than before. Since we live together, I didn't think she was gaining that much weight, but the photos are honest.
Like my wife's sister, Filipinos have a strong tendency to gain weight as they get older. I think it's such a constitution, but many of them can't eat well, so they think it's better to be fat than thin, and my wife tells me to eat more.
In Japan and other developed countries, being overweight is not a good thing. If your belly is larger than the standard, you are diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and warned to exercise.
So I'm trying to be careful, but lately my pants are getting tighter and tighter. When I stepped on the scale last night for the first time in a while, I weighed 70kg. It's been about 65-67kg for the last 20 years, so it's obvious he's getting heavier.
Lately, I 'm become short of breath when going up stairs, and walks slower than before, because of my weight. Not surprisingly, I was 3-5kg heavier than before.
My wife's food is good and delicious, but I think it's partly because Filipino-style food has become the main dish. From now on, it is the season to get even fatter in autumn. Let's eat less and try to walk by the stairs as much as possible. Diet for a while, diet for a while.
