Hanging out

It's been a busy busy week and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. *sigh* In midst of all this chaos, i STILL try to make time for friends and gym.

Though i'm beginning to sense a (scary) recurring theme whenever i talk to people... sooner or later, the topic of their weight/size/shape pops up. What's worse is that usually, it's the thinnest of the group that brings up the topic of being 'fat'. Just last night at the gym, a group of girls lamenting how much weight they've gained over CNY. Blimey... their waist is probably equivalent to the circumference of my thighs and YET they kept saying how 'fat' they've become and as if to prove the point, started pinching "imaginary" flab on their stomachs. UGH!!!

Mind you, i'm all for looking good but does it really have to be anorexia before one is "appealing"? Have we become so shallow? Why can't exercise be about keeping healthy? Fine, if you need to lose a bit of 'wobbly bits' here and there. But do it for health sake - to prevent heart disease or diabetes or whatever. Just don't kill yourself thinking that you're only attractive when you're looking like a stick-insect.

My friend Mal made a snarky comment about push-up bras & corsets. She wonders why women bother with those IF the purpose of it is to look more appealing = attracting opposite sex. Excuse the following remark but IF it's going to come all off at the end, wouldn't he be seeing you in all your glory? Then what happens? Would he bolt the opposite direction when he sees the 'real' you? And if he does, what in the world are you doing with someone like him in the first place?

I was rolling in laughter when Mal said all that but i can't help agreeing with her to a certain extent. I'm glad i have friends who love me as i am... blubber and all. So i say this (as a reminder to myself too)... Love yourself!! Keep healthy but love yourself for who you are! Enjoy life & Let it all hang out!!! Hahahahaha...

Have a good week everyone!! *HUGS*
