My cholesterol and weight have shot up since coming to Japan a year and a half ago.
I asked my manager to let me stop school lunches as I've gotten advice from my family who are mostly doctors to regulate my own meals. My manager is not hearing it though.
I am leaving this year and wondering if I should just say fuck it and not participate in the meals and then not pay for it either (have to pay in cash by the end of the month).
Just some extra details:
My manager said to just try and cut down the meals which I've tried to do but not only am I paying to give away food but I'm also paying for many meals that I'd rather not eat. I'm also used to not having a big appetite at lunch so it's been hard to have these huge school lunches at a time where I don't feel hungry (I get hungry at night).
