Hello everybody! Japanese people are really thin! It’s probably one of the first things you’ll notice when you come here! But the question is, why?
Maybe it’s because of our advanced fitness equipment like the long piro piro! You might think that it looks like a normal party whistle, but it’s much more than that! This thing will build your core muscles and help you burn fat, while training your facial muscles! With one blow, you’re getting thinner and more beautiful at the same time!
So WHY ARE Japanese so thin? Well, there are several reasons. But not all of these reasons are good or even healthy. In fact, I’ve had my own struggles with trying to fit in with Japan’s thin-obsessed society. But before I tell you my story, let’s look at how Japan is designed to keep people thin!

Please respect the Name of God, don’t make jokes about the Holy Spirit. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

My mother is a professional pastry chef, and I learned how to bake from her. One trick I started using to lose weight is if I see a pastry that I know how to make (cookies, cakes, etc) I say to myself "I know what is in that" or "I can do better" or "i know what this tastes like already" and this is how I talk myself out of eating it. I also used my knowledge of baking to cut out fats and surgar in the things I make at home. Most of my pastries are 30-70% less calories now. I encourage everybody to learn the chemestry of baking so you can cut unnecessary calories from your food too.

A note about the sugar/sweetener at the table. Those are for the benefit of people who order coffee. It is usually served black at restaurants, so the customer would add sugar, powdered creamer, or artificial sweetener to their taste. Also, America also has, an apparently unique, thing where most restaurants/fast food places allow free refills on most drinks.

Don’t forget iced tea! Sweet tea - make it sweep. Unsweetened tea - drink as is, or sweeten to your desired level of sweetness, or use artificial sweeteners

For me, sweet candy, doughnuts, and sugar cola drinks were my problem. One day I decided to stop buying them. I ate oranges, apples and grapes to get the sweetness, passed on the pastry, and began drinking tea instead of colas. Bit by bit, the pounds fell off and I felt better. The only downside was my clothes no longer fit me. That was when I knew I had won!

No, your problem was eating excess calories. This is a fact. You can eat donuts and candies it doesn’t matter, what makes you gain weight is the excess calories sooo if you’re over doing your calories, obviously you’re gonna gain weight. Fruits are a much healthy option obviously but the reason you lost weight was because you weren’t consuming so many calories.

[@bellegold2956]

@@andrewaguayo115 Yes self-control with sugar is a hard thing but for some people it’s better to completely cut them out because they can’t stop eating excess it’s better to avoid and substitute them than trying to do them in moderation if you know you can’t stick to that moderation

As someone who's currently in the process of losing a lot of weight (highest weight was 321 lbs/146 kg, started seriously trying to lose weight at 309 lbs/140 kg, currently 283 lbs/128 kg after about 12 weeks, goal weight 185 lbs/84 kg), I can confirm that letting go was the first step (not just of the emotional pain from people making fun of my weight, but also of the idea that I had to eat to get full, like every other American does). I'm doing this for me...I don't want to wake up one day when I'm 40 years old, and find myself headed to the hospital with a heart attack that I might not survive (I just turned 37 a few days ago). I've begun eating more vegetables, and almost completely cut out sugary drinks and desserts. I'll soon be starting back on the gym grind, as well.

I am not as fast as the others (yet), but I can now run an entire 5K and more. Mr. Ross also showed me what muscles to train in the legs for running. I also cross train with weights and karate to prevent injury and to protect joints.

[@dextokuyasu]

I’m always excited when I visit my sister in law whose from Aomori, because she always cooks traditional food from there. She loves how excited I get when she says she going to make yakisoba, Udon, even miso soup, cause no one else in the family has tried to embrace Japanese culture. When she found out I was studying Japanese history and language, she would talk my ear off in a good way. Her meals are the one escape from the sugar laden food that’s all over America. Plus I know it’s legitimately prepared the right way. I never have stomach problems like I can have with some American foods and chains. I’m a slightly picky eater, egg 卵 would be the hardest for me, but I’d absolutely try everything I could there if it’s even close to her cooking.

[@jennynovoa8586]

Omg, the food must be so tasty! I've never had Japanese food 😭 in my head it's not the same going to a restaurant, I'd like to have the homemade experience ^^

[@TheHorseshoePartyUK]

@@jennynovoa8586 I've not had much of it but what I have tried is very, very good. Katsu chicken curry is my current favourite. Also one of the 'cheaper' supermarkets in Britain named Lidl, does sushi. I never really tried it much before til recently. The one I tried came with a pretty hot chilli mayo dip, and soy and wasabi or a good replica of it as is more common than many realise. I've never been so happy to have tears streaming down my face 😂

[@tttiiaa]

@@TheHorseshoePartyUK nooo not Lidl's sushi 😭 and chili mayo dip for sushi, wtf?? Prepare to have your mind blown when you eat real sushi (preferably in Japan ofc) but there won't be any mayos, just quality soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger Everyone should taste okonomiyaki and ramen! Tempura is delicious as well, obviously. And yakitori 🤤

[@TheHorseshoePartyUK]

@@tttiiaa Thank you for your recommendations. I'd love to try Japanese food at a restaurant or even in Japan sometime, but even so I'll just point out two things: 1. Lidl is not a completely terrible supermarket unlike it's reputation in UK. It's a normal supermarket in rest of Europe. I don't like a lot of their products, but some of it is really good. Sushi from Lidl is not like getting Sushi from USA gas stations where it's a recipe for sitting on the toilet the entire next day. The Lidl 'special' mozarella pizza is pretty good, and rated as pretty authentic by Italians I know, unlike many admittedly, delicious Frankenstein creations in our Asian takeaways. 2. I like what I like and when it comes to food, nobody can change my mind!

[@tttiiaa]

@@TheHorseshoePartyUK yes I live in Finland and we have Lidls too, most of their products are considered to be absolutely fine (and some great)! All I'm saying is that the real stuff is (obviously) miles above and many think that you haven't actually tasted sushi if you've only had store made sushi or similar. The difference in taste and quality is so big even though the basic components are the same. 2 Sorry I came across that way! I agree that everybody has the right to like what they like, even if the chili mayo with sushi was a bit shocking at first since esp Japanese people are such purists when it comes to sushi 😅 but whatever tastes good to the one eating! Anyway, I would look up if you have any Japanese-owned restaurants there with a variety of dishes and great reviews, it's absolutely worth the money if you find one :)

I also struggled a lot with my weight. When I was younger, I worked out almost 6 hours every day. I was in 5 different sports clubs and also made a license as lifeguard. But suddenly I started to gain weight, so I trained even harder. Didn't help, so I went on a diet, only drank water and ate fresh vegetables, still gained weight. I couldn't eat in public since everyone told me with my weight I should skip meals, I got belittled and called lazy and fat. My weight rose until I wasn't able to do sports anymore since my joints hurt so much and I got bruises from the slightest bump. It took 6 years until I finally found a doctor that believed me and looked for the cause, finding out it was lipedema that made my weight rise. Lipedema is an illness where fat cells increase unlimited, it gets worse and worse with time. To make it simple, it's like with cancer, the cells stop doing their original job and become neoplastic. The cells get bigger and bigger and neither diets nor sport can affect them. But since they are "fat cells", neither people nor medicine take it serious, calling out people affected by the illness: "It's fat, so it's your own fault. Just stop lying to yourself." No it's not, and finally that viewpoint starts to change (a little). After 20 years of suffering (the cells don't just get bigger, they also cause a lot of pain) I finally got my operations, and since last year, I am back on working out, cause I finally am able to do so again. On my own, I would not have managed to do it. Lipedema is an illness, not a decision.

[@mlem6951]

The last part made me cry. I lost a lot of weight over the last years, after i gained a lot troughout a abusive Relationship i had after i left my also very abusive Family. As Kid i was always the super skinny one, people always tellt me i should eat more and even bullied me for my skinny chicken legs and being a Ginger also didn't help much. But i didn't get much food at home, so i never gained much weight until i had the chance to leave them. But as i said, i got from one Hell in the other Hell. There i gained a lot of weight and people started saying, just stop eating, you are so fat, you will die early, ect. ect. But i couldn't stop, quite the opposite, the more people and my Ex-Boyfriend treated me badly, the more i ate and isolated me xx. I have still a bit to loose and it's getting really hard, when you at a state, where results come slower and slower. And you are right, loosing weight didn't help my mental-health. I'm at 76kg now and still feel like my 110kg self and think People make fun of me, when they compliment me and stuff. I don't had a boyfriend since the breakup 3 Years ago and even though i sometimes miss the company, i can't bring myself to trust a Guy at the moment. Especially because I'm afraid that my mental state is not yet far enough that I don't fall for the same type of man again. Thanks for youre nice and helpfull Words and for youre Videos who make me always smile :).

Sorry to hear. Men really can be quite a problem at times. However available data suggests that the worst tiny minority of all people, of all demographics, is at most, 1% to 5% of all of us. It is wise to stay away from dating and relationships for a while, work on yourself, heal, and learn how to spot Red Flags in future. It can be helpful to learn about how manipulative, gaslighting narcissists operate, but if you do it too much, you will make yourself overly vigilant to the point of paranoia. It happened to one lady I knew who's only socialising was talking to victimised women, as she obsessed over Narcissism and associated Red Flags. I had to stop speaking to her eventually. Conversation the last 4 years became nearly nothing but her obsession and despising her ex and her acting like the entire world was against her. There is a harsh truth that both toxic personalities, and their victims struggle to cope with. Nearly always, the entire world *is not* out to get them. There are 8 billion people on the planet, and 99.999999% of them will never even know they exist, never mind have a strong opinion for or against them. Recommendations: Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset, also seeking therapy if you can access it for free or afford it. Else for advice from professionals; Dr Tracey Marks or Mark Tyrrell of Uncommon Knowledge UK. Also, learning about Critical Thinking skills of Cognitive Biases and Logical Fallacies can be extremely useful for your own life, and society. Eg, those of us who have been totally crushed by the worst people, are often afraid to like ourselves in case we become those who hurt us. There is only a tiny bit of overlap between having self-esteem and self-confidence, and being a toxic narcissist. To say they are exactly the same is the logical fallacy of False Equivalence. "A chihuahua is exactly the same species as a Lion. Exactly, exactly the same. They both have a face, eyes, a nose, mouth, growl, and have four legs with claws and a tail" Or as articulated by Simon Sinek: "Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you're better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys"

I wish I could've liked this video 100 times!!! The final segment of your struggles is really inspiring and I love seeing both your dynamics together. Thank you Mrs and Mr Eats 💚💜

[@gothicgwen9066]

This video made me laugh but recognize struggles I have had lately myself, and learning to change my mindset. Good luck to you and Mr Eats on your happy healthy journey!

[@lizliz4186]

The bits with your husband are hilarious!!! Thank you!

[@jeffreysg]

I love your videos so much. They are so funny and you and Mr. Ears are too adorable together. This video really hit home. As a bigger person myself, I know the struggle. I’m constantly trying to lose weight and have weeks where I exercise and eat healthy then whenever depression sets in, all that goes out the window. It can be a real struggle, especially when one does not have any support.

[@gloriachoi3663]

thank you for sharing your story about struggling with weight, having been a very chubby asian during my youth as well your story really made me emotional. And then adding in the funny skits in between really made me laugh. I love your story telling and video style! Made me subscribe :)

[@bryanrusso6640]

Omg you two are really the best I love your humor and way of expressing yourself this goes to Mr eats too, you are both so nice to watch 🌹

[@leoinsalaco4567]

I would have never thought you would have gone through something like that. You were so honest about how you felt during those times, so powerful for other people going through the same things❤ I always love you guy’s videos!

[@jamesmontgomery9829]

Thank you for sharing your personal story. I too am on the weight management journey and the emotional ups and downs do not make it easy. I love the humor in your videos and this particular one was very inspirational. I wish Mr Eats well in his journey. It would be great to get any updates you are willing to share.

[@theendboss4849]

This was a really good video and I appreciate you telling your story. It made me sad for you and others that struggle😢. I also liked how you featured some science facts. We are proud of you mrs eats and you look really great now. You’re an amazing KZbinr as well with great content!❤

[@benjaminmorales3843]

Wishing Mr.Eats a very successful journey in getting healthy. You two are very lucky to have each other.

[@jameslawrence9865]

You are both an inspiration. I know Mr. Eats will be a success in his journey to better health. I would love to not only see this as part of this channel's story, but as someone who was overweight most of my life, I hope to be an encouragement as well.

[@Rcjsan]

I stumbled upon this on my main page and I'm loving the charisma and chemistry of you and Mr.Eats. This content is amazing.

[@andreasalaiz9269]

I love you two! Thank you for sharing your health journey, this is encouraging me to try to eat healthy and make smarter life choices 💕

[@koji_h]

Thank you for sharing such a personal story about your struggles with bullying and trying to fit with social norms. I have a teen family member who is also Japanese going through the same experience and it breaks my heart seeing her go through that. You said it best in that we need to give compassion and understanding to help anyone through it. I hope she’ll have the strength and make sure to support her through it so that she can be a strong as you are.

[@one_pun_man]

I find your content informative and encouraging, plus the humor hits my funny bone. As a formerly overweight bullied individual, I really enjoy hearing your stories and positivity.

[@DiAMILKY]

Thank you for opening up about your past struggles and insecurities. It really empowered me to do better.

[@stonecoldfrankjenkins4507]

Loved this video! As someone who's going through some weight gain after the pandemic it's been so hard to get motivated again. I really connected with your story and really want to see your husband's progress too! I also ordered some AG 1 with your link! Can't wait to give it a try! Thanks for sharing your story and best of luck to you!

[@MononokeLynn]

Yes! We’d love to see Mr Eats tackle his health! As someone who has been at war with their weight for nearly their entire life, I can relate!

[@ladysaraofinsomnia2334]

Thank you for not only sharing this fascinating cultural information but also your own personal stories with us! Hearing that others have gone through struggles and are still learning to improve themselves is a wonderful encouragement to others on their own journeys. Due to his own health conditions my husband struggled with weight for years and was unable to lose any meaningful amount. About 6 months ago he underwent weight loss surgery and is doing much better, but he still has a ways to go to meet his goals. I do everything I can to support and encourage him, and seeing you and Mr. Eats together reminds me a bit of us; being silly together but also very loving and encouraging. I wish you both the best in your health journey!

[@cantsay]

I am excited to follow you both on your journey, what an inspiration! We all need a life buddy who has our best interests at heart, and will run up the steps with us!

[@madelinetracy3847]

Thanks for another great video! Your story was super relatable. Here in the U.S., most women struggle the way you did. I’m a very muscular (“big”) person myself, plus I love to eat, but I managed to do what you did- find a healthy balance, let go of shame/trauma, and make healthier choices. Please keep making videos! You guys are my fave Japanese channel! ❤

[@michaels3474]

Yes, we love Mr. Eats. Take good care of him and keep him healthy. Looking forward to the progress he is making...😁🤗

Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing!!💛💛💛🍒🍒

[@DragonettiFamilyAdventures]

I would love to follow M. Eats journey. I am working on myself so it is encouraging to see others do the same

[@bigc1280]

I love Mr. Eats, and I would love to see his health journey. I had my health journey. Last year I was in the hospital for the month of September. When i got out, i wanted to make sure that never happened again. I joined a gym, got into a group, and proceeded to lose about 35lbs since April! I am still loosing weight, as I just had bariatric surgery last week. i still have a long way to go, but I am happier and healthier than I have been in a long time! With you there Mr. Eats!

[@amskazetoame]

Thank you for another great video! You are definitely right about portions and food availability in the US. It’s outrageous. I would love to follow Mr Eats journey! I have health issues of my own that would benefit from me losing the weight they caused me to gain, but it’s very challenging. I will use your story as motivation, and Mr Eats journey too, if we are allowed to follow it.

[@stephensherwood3905]

Yes! Please do a series with Mr. Eats!

[@mariamebereal-hassan6564]

I just started back on my weightloss journey and this video was an amazing encouragement.....Thank you and to Mr. Eats you go!

[@masumigartman4262]

I think this is my favorite video! My grandmother was from Japan and she always made comments about my weight growing up (along with the rest of my family) and, though I know it was from a place of love, it definitely has had a lasting effect on my mentality regarding weight. When the people that you love make you feel ugly, it's a hard thing to come back from. I look back at pictures of me from High School and early adulthood, and I regret having such negative feelings about myself back then. Now, at 31 and 6 years after having a baby, my weight is definitely out of control. I am working on getting healthy, not for aesthetics, but so I can be around and present 100% for my daughter.

[@mikebowman5819]

Can I just say what a great video this was. I thought it was going to be just about foods in Japan but you said some things that really hit close to home and this really made my day as I've struggled with overeating. Thank you.

[@lunaraynwolf7036]

Id love to see more videos like this and how to be healthier! This was so awesome and I LOVE your sense of humor!

[@arekkusu505]

本当にありがとうございますイーツさん。皆さんに勇気をあげました。　Thank you so much Mrs Eats! You’ve given everyone courage. I personally cannot speak on the topic of being overweight but I felt your personal story was very enlightening for everyone. I think this was very brave of you to share. I hope Mr Eats becomes healthier with an inspiring person like you by his side 😊 You can do it Mr Eats! 頑張って！できる！

[@MrsEats]

ありがとう！私もアレックスさんやみんなのコメントに勇気をもらってるよ！

[@TeacherinTraining39]

I am a quite big man, and I'm struggling with it, myself. I find myself positively besieged with the ease of access to terrible food, the difficulty of obtaining healthy food cheaply, and the message of fat acceptance.

[@largedoglover99]

I have a bad thyroid. I suppose I better be ashamed.

[@TeacherinTraining39]

@@largedoglover99 Cool story, bro. Edited for clarity: Nobody is trying to tell you how to feel. I don't care how you feel about what I said. My circumstances are within my control, and I don't need to be inundated with messaging stating how being fat is somehow "healthy," how I must be "fatphobic (not a real thing)" for not wanting to be fat anymore, or how I'm "actively harming fat people" by working to lose weight. So take your messaging, internalize it (you do you), and leave me the fuck alone about how *I* choose to live *MY* life. Fuck, you people are exhausting.

[@rhyndawatson4173]

Very motivational sharing your personal journey, glad you found your happy space

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

This video went in a direction I did not expect and I really appreciate that 🥰

[@Claudia_87]

I can relate to your struggles, but I find it hard to change my mindset like you did. So I'd be interested in seeing how you approach Mr. Eats journey. 💕

[@kikonekonyan]

I would LOVE to follow Mr. Eats' journey! I also grew up at a bigger kid. I went back and forth between starving myself and binge eating until my early 20s, constantly disgusted with my own body. Because of my family history of heart disease and diabetes (combined with my low self-esteem), I started trying to be healthier, little by little, about 6 years ago. I have lost over 100lbs (45kg) so far, and I am so so close to my goal weight! I feel so much better now, and my doctor is quite pleased. I'm cheering you on, Mr. Eats! And congratulations to you, Mrs. Eats, for all that you've accomplished. Thanks for sharing your story ^_^

[@matstarfighter8262]

I love how you opened up in this video. 👍

[@emmaLEE2667]

I really adore Mrs Eats. What a joy she is to watch. It's like having a cute and funny friend. 😁 Cheers! 🥂

[@myonekawa230]

Mrs. Eats I really appreciate what you have said, especially about your weight loss journey. I'm still going through the same thing when you lost weight. I thought losing weight would solve my problem, but instead my mental health was something I needed to fix, also. Thank-you for giving me insight and hope on your mental and emotional journey. That you can let go is something I see myself doing, eventually. I'd also like to see your husband's journey on his weight loss. I want to cheer for him and you (for your support). :) :) :)

[@immeow9971]

I had my honeymoon trip to Japan for 3 weeks. Ate so much but realised I lost weight despite eating so much!

[@companymen42]

Yea I want to see Mr.Eats journey! Please post it!

[@sirv1ktor787]

I just found your page, and I'm proud of you for taking charge of your mental health

[@masashinakamura61]

Nice video. I definitely got a few giggles out of Mr. Eats' "compliments." 😂 After moving to the US, I realized that in order to get what might be considered a "normal" portion, you had to order from the lighter options portion of the menu (if there is one). I do miss the walking and rollerblading being part of life by default in any other country I've lived in. I probably got some funny looks on the rollerblades when in Tokyo but it did get me to my closest station in a little over 2 minutes; I started on a hill so it was a lot of fun. 😛

[@GarouLady]

Thank you so much for your video. This subject hits hard for me. Being overweight and picked on can hurt for years after. Right now I'm on my own journey to get better and healthier. One thing I've found is to find little life hacks that let me enjoy a treat without blowing my healthy eating. Like atm it's fall and there is pumpkin pie hummus, with real pumpkin in it. I put a tablespoon of that on a graham cracker with some sugar free cool whip. All the flavor and taste of a pumpkin pie without all those extra calories and sugar.

[@GoodnightAcolyte]

Really appreciate the sense of humor and honesty they approached this topic with.

[@andersonomo597]

One of your best videos! Thanks Mrs Eats - and Mr Eats too!!

[@ASAMB12]

thank you for sharing your own story. What you said about people bullying others for being overweight is so true. It's rarely helpful, if ever. It's especially damaging for children and teenagers who first need to built up their self-esteem. Your tip on staying slim by not buying unhealthy food may sound simple enough but it's spot on. It's easier to walk past it when grocery shopping than trying to resist overeating on it once you have it at home.

[@esme_melody]

wonderful video as always

[@ntxhiavxyooj7111]

My first time here on your channel and love how you and Mr. Eats help each others. Yes, my parent came from a country where you walk miles to get to where you're going. I grew up in America, where you walk to the car and drive almost every where. I was 95 lbs in high school, later on I got married and had children. I was at my heaviest 170 lbs for a 5 ft person after having 7 children and daily life stress. After health problems like you said in your video here. I started to lose weight, I'm at 125 lbs now and still losing more weight. Stay healthy and stay safe. Thank you for sharing.

[@buffertrash]

While we were in Japan last, my wife and I lost 10 lbs each. We didn't hold back at all on what we were eating, but the the combination of walking constantly and not having easily accessible things to snack on probably did most of it.

To-go bags are revolutionary! I ask for one and split my food in half before I start eating in US restuarants, otherwise it's too easy to eat too much!

Ma’am I can completely identify and I understand everything you said. I was 230 # at age 12 and I had many of the same experiences as a child. I got lean and weighed 167# at 13 and I’ve been lean and athletic ever since. It still hurts and haunts me. When you were describing being harassed for being overweight, and I know it is much worse for girls than for boys, I just wanted to wrap you in my arms and tell you how it will be ok. Be happy and thrive Mrs. Eats….

[@lieselwong8560]

Thanks for sharing your story!! I would follow mr. Eats journey. I’m currently trying to get into a workout routine and healthy eating habits. I have a friend at work that helps motivate me. It is a little bit hard living in the U.S where the portions are bigger, and you just want to eat everything. I’ve always been chubby, and now that I’m older, there’s been a few people that mistake my chubbiness for being pregnant. I know they feel embarrassed when they ask me and I tell them no I’m not pregnant. That doesn’t make me feel good about my body. Sorry for making this long, but there was one time I did say yes to being pregnant. (Even when it wasn’t true). There was a language barrier involved. My in-laws, husband and I were visiting Japan back 4 years ago. We needed to use the bathroom, so my mother-in-law and I were standing in line. There was an older Japanese lady in front of me. (It was a little cold out so I was wearing layers). She turned to me and said something in Japanese. I turned to my mother-in-law hoping she understood something the Japanese lady said. She didn’t, so she told me to just say yes. I turned back to the Japanese lady and nodded my head yes. Then it clicked in my head of what she might have been asking, when she patted my stomach with a smile on her face, and said something else in Japanese. But, having been to Japan before and watching KZbin videos on it. I did understand how much children are valued in Japanese culture. I wasn’t offended by the miss understanding. I wish I did know what she was saying before, because I felt like I lied to her. Even now I still don’t have any kids. But, planning on kids soon.
