Is losing weight difficult!?

Fortunately, I have a gift which my body is not gain weight easiry. And I have heard that many people who live in another country can easily gain weight because of their eating habit. But this does not apply on me because although I am living another country, I eat Japanese food almost all day. I can buy Japanese food and I try to cook myself.

However, I have a problem. I cook too much and I eat everything. It means I got some weight. I can't look at my stomach. It looks like it is not mine. So, I decided to exercise twice a week. I joined masters swimming team. Every time I would swim about 4,000 yards (3,800m). When I first started to swim, I couldn't swim well and I felt like my body was not mine. My feeling and my movement were totally different. But as time goes by, I can handle all of the swimming exercises as planned.

In my opinion, our body is like a balance. We can only do things like deposit and withdraw, eat and use energy (Elimination is also an output). I guess it is easy to think about it as our body weight. Fat is the balance. If you want to lose weight, you should withdraw a lot of amount. Of course we have to think about our basal metabolism and it also depends on person, we can get energy only from eating. If we want to lose our weight, we have two choices. Don't eat too much or exercise a lot. That's why I choose to exercise and I go to the pool twice a week.

Recently I can recognize my changing. I wnat to eat more. Many times I feel so hungry and I eat more than before. Oh! I deposit a lot more than before! What's going to happen to my balance? Do I need more exercise?

I eat Japanese foods everyday

I eat Japanese foods everyday.
Near my house, there are several Japanese supermakets and I can buy many kinds of Japanese foods there. Every week I go to there and buy natto, tofu, yakisoba and so on, so I can eat Japanese foods everyday.

But sometimes I think about myself and that my behavior is weird because I am living in a foreign country. There is the common saying that says "do in Rome as the Romans do". I totally don't do that. If I were younger like a high school student, I could eat American food every day life, but I can't. I'm not sure if it is because of my age or my nature.

Also, I have another reason for this. I don't know how to make American food. Everytime I go to an American grocery store, I can't imagine what I can cook because the selection of goods is totally different from Japanese stores. Nowadays I think I should find some good American food to cook!

I have some excuse for this. Many people want to do it and that's why there are many Asian or Japanese supermarkets in this area. I'm not the only one like this.

I'm lucky I can go to Japanese store here. I'm curious what kinds of foods people who live in other countries eat? Do they eat local foods or their own country's foods?

I eat too much!!

Yesterday, I noticed that my body's changing it is my abdomen. I take a shower everyday but I didn't notice it. I don't know why but I haven't been looking my body well enough. Because usually I don't measure my weight, I didn't think I was gaining more weight. Then, I tried to figue out what my problem was. Nowadays, I try to cook myself and it is one of the reasons I guess because I can cook only one person's meal. I don't want to leave something and it means I sould eat everything. In addition, I'm not good at calculating how much is enough for one person. Also, many times I spoil many vegetables and I don't want that. So I cook too much and I don't want to leave anything. It means I eat everything. So, I gained some weight and I am almost fat........

I have to consider this as a problem. I need an excercise routine.I like to eat but, No pain No gain.....
