She still think she is a little fat so she told me that she don’t want to eat too much.

Revised: 

Because our team has a new manager to lead us. She just manages the workflow to everyone.

During the coronavirus/COVID-19/pandemic, I spent around two months at home because we worked from home. Before that, I was a little busy and I didn’t have a lot of time to do exercise. But, during the coronavirus, I could control my schedule to spend a little bit of time to do exercise.

She still thinks she is a little fat so she told me that she doesn’t want to eat too much.

But, most of the time, I don’t eat dinner.
