The problem is that you have been having five small meals a day and have exercised in between them when at home, not to mention they have been healthy meals, and it doesn’t work that way in Russia. Since you have been in Russia, your friend has had to work and he doesn’t have his lunch break until two PM, and on top of that, he eats totally unhealthy. Everywhere you meet for lunch has nothing remotely healthy on the menu. You tried to order a salad once and that did NOT turn out to be what you expected at all! He also doesn’t get home each night until seven-thirty PM so you have had to fix something small for yourself and leave the rest for your friend and he doesn’t seem to enjoy what you have cooked. In fact, last night he offered to cook a Russian dish for you when he got home from work. Uh-oh. Looks like, not only was the Russian dinner extremely late, but so much for your diet AND your weight.
