You wanna work? You lose weight ! - 04/23/09 08:09 PM

Yesterday I watched a program on TV showing how Japanese companies put their employees on diets! They say they lose millions in medical treatments due to overweight employees. If their employees don’t lose weight, they are fired! They must exercise at least 3 times a week, and they are put on a sugar free and fat free diet. The company controls what they eat and they measure their stomach span weekly.

I’m moving to Japan….it’s my last chance. Sayonara! grin

I'm laughing out loud. Wait for me. Maybe we can get on the same flight.

As I sist here with my jeans getting tighter by the moment.

This entire week, we've had to eat out becasue we can't get in the kitchen. It can't be good for you. I can't wiat to have my kitchen back... or my waist, for that matter.

Edelweiss3,
I have never seen an overweight Japanese person, other than
sumo wrestlers. And the Chinese are very slim; guess it's all
that rice. I don't know. Even the US is gettin' on that
"slim down" band wagon. But I understand Dotsie. I like to eat
out too much. And who can be good when they do that.
