Day 1 --119.8 lbs

Today's weight is 119.8 lbs

So here I am, weighing approximately 10 lb heavier than last time I visited my family in Japan.  As you may already know, women in Japan are typically slender.  I have been told by various people that I look fine and I am not overweight--but this is only in U.S.  When I go to Japan, this is a totally different story.  My own mother has called me that I look like a whale when I was watching TV on my side.  I went to clothing shopping in Osaka and was unable to fit into XL size clothing.  WTH?

I am:
Japanese--born and partially raised
5'2
usual exercise level-- about 3 in 1-10 scale.  I walk my dog at least 30 min. per day.
37 years old
married
no kids (yet)

What I ate today
1L of green juice
1lb of roasted brussels sprouts
handful of nuts
2 egg white+1whole egg scrambled egg
1/2 Think Thin Bar
1 small coffee
1 med tea

My exercise today
hiking for 1 hour with my friend Tenny
walked my dog for 45 min.
