Awesome

Today for the third time one of the field agents asked me how much I weigh.  (different one each time, not one asking 3 times)  I know that I am fatter right now than I have been in quite awhile, but Jesus Effing Christ.  There are plenty of Malagasy women who are fatter than me even if I’m taller than most of the population here.  When one of them asked me what my hobbies were a few weeks ago and I mentioned that I liked running, he smiled and sort of laughed like he didn’t believe me.  And, all of the weight questions have come out of the blue, not during a discussion about nutrition, food, exercise, or clothes.  I’m eating nothing but lettuce for the next month.
