You’re so skinny!

So the age old topic of weight amongst females which has been discussed over and over and over so much so that people are getting fat and becoming famous for losing all the weight they initially gained.

Being a true believer of having a “just-be-you” attitude, I have to admit that I have not seen much, If any, articles on the other side of this fat vs, thin debate!

So let’s be serious ladies…

80% of women are complaining about how fat the are and how they need to lose weight and, and, and…

10% of women are completely happy with their weight only because they are on the strictest diets and have gym programmes on lockdown!

But no one ever gave thought to the other  10% who are on the side of the spectrum.

“you are so skinny. Look at how thin your arms are (grabbing your wrists), how do you stay so thin”

Im sure I can speak for the minority of us who sometimes don’t like being this skinny. We don’t live in Europe or US where the skinnier women is portrayed as beautiful. We live in SA where the full figured, voluptuous women are portrayed as that.

So guess what, we have the same thoughts as “fat chicks” do, only that its less apparent due because of what the media tells us to believe.

I bet if I were to say “oh you so fat” or “you look so much fatter since I last saw you”, I would get bitch slapped to the next planet.

So lemme ask this question…

Why is it then acceptable to have such a level of double standards in this country (and world)?

Just because the bigger women can assume that its acceptable to be thinner, under no circumstances means that the skinny chick is ok with hearing how skinny she is. Perhaps she wants to be fat as much as you would like to be thin.

That’s the demons all females possess right? We wana be someone we are not instead of being happy with what we have.

Of course I am passionate about this topic and we could go on and on about this but let me end by saying… Let’s embrace the curves and (non-existant curves) which all of us do possess and be happy and supportive to each other.

The biggest issues amongst us is that we compete against each other trying to be on top. But if everyone saw that we are all “competing” for the same thing…. Acknowledgment.  We could all then get where we want to be faster, happier and richer (cos we wont be spending all this money trying to change ourselves)
