You're Fat, Muki

Because I also like to punish myself with more than just pursuing Japanese, I'm also trying to lose weight from tomorrow.

Basically, I'm fat. I'm approaching 90kg at 175cm and I should be more like 75kg. The other day my brother-in-law just straight up told me, “ehy bro, you getting fat.” Nice. Then like a week later, my mother-in-law was all, “Wah! You FAT!” Great.

Nothing like my in-laws telling me I'm fat to get me moving. But also, it's quite endearing since in the year and a bit that my wife and I have been married, they feel close enough that they can just say it to my face.

Anyway, there's a bunch of things I apparently need to do all at once.

One is getting enough sleep. So I'm supposed to sleep at 12:30am which is earlier than my usual 3am bed times.

The second is changing my diet to eat more frequent but smaller meals. Not having a gallbladder fits into this.

Third is starting out with a 20 minute cycle just to get into the habit of exercising.

This all sounds terrible already. But being fat is more terrible.

Also I broke a Japanese learning streak, but otherwise I'm actually surprised I'm doing it, so that seems to be working. There's hope for this fatso yet!
