People would think one would lose weight in a country such as Nepal. Foreign food, not as many sweets, more walking around and frequent sicknesses could be just a few of the reasons. Unfortunately, and fortunately, this is not true.
I never eat better anywhere else in the world than I do here. Fresh fruits and vegetables all the time. Delicious Indian and Nepali sweets. Rice and rice and rice and more rice. Saag, paneer, spicy potatoes, roti, poori, nan, just to name a few. then my tummy expands two fold, and I get hungry all the time and demand even more food.
Tonight, I went to a little Cornell gathering, and after completing two full plates of bhat, tarkari, achaar and daal (rice, vegetables, pickled tomato and lentals), realized i wasn't hungry anymore but I wasn't stuffed either. ohh the joys of eating.. and eating... and eating :)
