Japan blog #47 Exchange students gain weight?!?!?!?

Okay this video was a little uncomfortable to make but I thought it might be a unique random topic!

To be honest, many exchange students gain weight while they are on exchange, it happens, its normal! I did! My friends did!

I wanted to share my experiences so future exchangers can at least be aware of it :P I wasn't ; I thought I'd loose a crap load!

Enjoy!

God! Tell me about it -.- currently I´m stuying in Germany and let´s say I was already a little overweight just a few pounds and I was getting rid of them, I was proud of me then I came here and I gained the double of what I used to weight I HATE IT!!

I was wondering how you got used to chopsticks? I'm trying to practice with chopsticks, but it's kinda difficult.

@sin9hyaku90: It's the konbini breads exactly that do it. They have so many calories. And going to restaurants and what not. I go to restaurants a lot because I travel a lot, and you have to eat everything. It's good, but it IS a lot of food sometimes.

I've gained fifteen pounds in Japan. -__- All their food is so good. I'm trying to get back to my original weight, but it's so hard. And omg, the finishing the food thing made me gain sooo much. I couldn't finish and entire bowl of katsudon when I got here, so I had to push myself to eat more, and now I eat soooo much. Dx

And I agree with the clothes. I love their clothes, but they don't suit me AT ALL. I completely agree with this entire video.

You need to care about weight even when you are in Japan.

because Karaage lures you! And Fried potatoes does too!

Without staying slim, you look more adult-like, less teenager-like.

When I first got here(Romania) I lost a TON of weight. Then after I got adjusted I gained some of it back. Overall I have lost weight. I hope I don't gain it back! XD

[sin9hyaku90]

Although I''m not sure how exactly one gains weight while abroad in Japan coming from the US, I knew a lot more people doing the opposite primarily based on dietary restrictions and basically the impossibilities presented by that, BUT one thing that was so hard to stay away from were the conbini breads and other miscellaneous baked goods.... SO DELICIOUS.

But I know my friends said they have gained weight, and my host sister gained like 20lbs on exchange.
