First I focused on my eating habit.
I was a stress eater and also "Mottai nai" eater.
*Mottai nai means "wasting something" we use this term especially for the food.
In Japan, we are supposed to finish everything we are served but the reason Japanese people are skinny is because we do not serve a lot.
We just serve the portion we are able to finish and it is basically half size of the portion American restaurant serves..
So if we have left overs mothers say "mottainai! Eat!" or "next time serve less and then get another plate after you finish the first one*
So every time I cooked and my kids couldn't eat and had left overs, I ate them all.
My portion was small at the dinner table but when I cleaned the dinning table I said "mottainai" and ate everything...so I did not have to waste food but I was storing food as a fat inside of me.
I never tracked my diet before and I felt like I always eat a little bit....
I did eat a little bit during the dinner but when I cooked and cleaned up...I was eating and eating and eating...unconsciously.
Plus as I mentioned, I ate a lot when I felt stress.
So I was eating super huge portion...
In order to jump start my body transformation, I had to change my eating habit
