The cry of a skinny girl
One of my secret wishes for a long time now had been to go on a diet for a few days. Now any one who knows me well enough would confirm you that i am the last person they can imagine who is in need of a diet - Having never crossed 40 kgs all my life i have always been grouped into the "to be well fed and cared for" category. That category of teens for whom chocolates,ice creams,cakes, cookies and sweets are not special treats but a "must eat" food item. You might say that it is not something to cry about. But if you go to a doctor for common cold and he advises you to have an ice cream a day to gain weight, then probably there's something wrong (either with the doctor or you) for you to worry about.Happened.
"Eat well". "Eat this". "Eat that". "Drink this". "Drink that" - these are the phrases that i hear almost everyday and have been forced to follow. I sometimes wonder what would happen if all the cheese, butter, ghee, nuts, chocolates and cakes that i have had so far work over night and i blow up like a balloon all of a sudden. Gives me nightmares sometimes to think that it is the only way i can fly away unlike what my friends imagine. And to those of you who still think that i can fly - i am not a superwoman! unless i am caught in a tornado i am not going to fly off anywhere and in that case, you will be flying too.
Another favorite misconception that people usually have about me is the way they except me to fit into every small hole or gap. Yes, I do agree that i have a better chance of falling into a rabbit hole like Alice, but to go to the extent of dropping a ring in a close necked bottle and expecting me to go in and take it out for you is just too much - I am thin, but not "that thin". What you are looking for is called as a genie, please understand.
Ofcourse, being thin has it's own advantages - chances are that you look younger than how you are (yea, most of the people still ask which std i am studying - great, isnt it? ) and not a single soul would scold you for taking a second or even a third helping of your favorite food and you can almost always escape from carrying heavy loads and in case you are caught sitting near a stair case during class hours, you can always act like you were about to faint.
However, there are a few things that bothers me a little at times. Firstly, advice - Something that has never been a scarcity all my life. Statistically speaking, every second person i have talked with has advised me something or the other about gaining weight. In fact, I have heard so many tips and tried quite a lot of them that i am planning to write a book on "The importance of weight gaining- and 101 ways to achieve it" soon. Of course, ill be careful not to include that none of them worked for me. Marketing strategies
Secondly, I always wonder how people say that it is better to be thin than fat. Now, tell me which sounds better? "I love taking great care of myself, I am on a diet and I work out daily" or "I love taking care of myself - I eat a chocolate a day". Understood the difficulty now? Where else can we get such a great "opportunity" to show our exemplary "self control" and "determination" like you do? :P
Having said all that, I just want to emphasize that thin or fat, good or bad, beautiful or ugly, I still love the way I am because that is what makes me ME!

ReplyDeleteI share the "Which standard are you in?" scenario too because I am short and thin for my age. Or, that is what they say. Whenever that happens, I reconcile myself thinking of a pseudo-situation 20 years from now (which will probably be the reality then).
ReplyDeleteI imagine my then 40 year old self relaxing in a park and honing my ornithology skills (Bird watching, if you know what I mean..) while the people who mocked me for being lean are walking around the park at full speed trying to reduce that 20 kg tummy of theirs. :D
Lol, it is happenin now itself :P most of my frnds are already dieting... i jus hope i don die eating :P
